Story summary

L.J. Cason entered the NCAA transfer portal, Michigan's first roster departure since head coach Mike Boynton Jr. took over.
After a torn ACL against Illinois ended his year, Cason, who transferred from a Dusty May-FAU commitment, averaged 8.4 points and 2.4 assists in 18 minutes per game.
His exit leaves Michigan without a clear backup to starter Elliot Cadeau, because Brandon McCoy Jr. and Trey McKenney lack his ball-handling profile.
