Michigan's Matthews Honored On Senior Night, But Sits Out With Ankle Injury [VIDEO]

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (97.1 The Ticket) -- Michigan guard Charles Matthews was honored on senior night Thursday at Crisler Center, but he sat out with an ankle injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to Michigan State.

The team announced shortly before tip-off that Matthews would miss the last home game of the season against Nebraska. Matthews reportedly has a sprain and is considered day-to-day.

The No. 9 Wolverines (24-4, 13-4 Big Ten) honored Matthews with a framed jersey and a tribute video.
