Elliot Cadeau injury update: Star guard playing through arm injury vs. No. 3 Duke

During the first half of the top-ranked matchup between No. 1 Michigan and No. 3 Duke, star Michigan guard Elliot Cadeau made a great pass to Morez Johnson, who slammed it down over Duke star Cameron Boozer. Right after the highlight play, Cadeau could be seen trying to get the attention of head coach Dusty May.

Cadeau continued to hold his left forearm until the next dead ball after Duke's possession. Immediately, Cadeau went to the bench for Michigan, and May had to make the quick sub for his star guard.

Cadeau was clearly in a lot of pain on the bench as the athletic trainers came and aroked on his left arm. The trainers worked on massaging Cadeau's arm for quite a few minutes before wrapping what looked like a warm wrap around his elbow.

Cadeau entered the game roughly four minutes later for the Wolverines. Without Cadeau on the court, Michigan's ball handling takes a big hit, as he is able to move the ball at an elite level. Hopefully, this injury won't linger for Cadeau throughout the game.

The star guard is averaging 10.1 points per game in his first season at Michigan, but more importantly, 5.5 assists per game, helping set up his team for success on the offensive side of the court.

Elliot Cadeau's pass created a monster poster over Duke's Cameron Boozer

Even though Cadeau paid the price for the pass to Johnson, the play ended up being a big one for Michigan. The alley-oop to Johnson put Boozer on a poster, something he isn't very used to in his short Blue Devils career.

This is a play that Michigan fans will probably be playing over and over again, especially if the Wolverines come away with the win. At halftime, Michigan is down just two to the Blue Devils. It will be a close game the rest of the way as both teams are battling in what is potentially a National Championship preview in March.
