In West Lafayette, as Michigan has continued to hold on to its double-digit lead over the Boilermakers, junior guard Eli Brooks endured a collision and went crashing down to the floor with what looks like could have been a broken nose.

He went to the bench, cradling his face in apparent pain and subsequently went to the locker room shortly after.

According to The Athletic’s Brendan Quinn, who’s on the ground in Mackey Arena, Brooks has been cleared by the medical staff to return to the game, but may have to wear a face mask to protect from suffering more damage.

If he does return, it’s excellent news, given that Brooks has led the team in scoring over the past seven games for Michigan.

UPDATE:

According to Detroit Free Press‘ Orion Sang, Brooks will not return.
