2021 NBA Draft

Michigan guard Isaiah Livers declares for NBA Draft

Livers was one of 3 team captains as the Wolverines won the Big Ten title and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Isaiah Livers averaged a career-high 13.1 points and 6 rebounds while shooting 43.1% from beyond the arc this season.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Michigan senior Isaiah Livers is not returning for an extra year of eligibility.

A team spokesman confirmed Livers’ decision Thursday. At this point, guard Eli Brooks is the only Michigan player who has decided to take advantage of the extra year that the NCAA is allowing because of the coronavirus pandemic — although the school said Jaaron Faulds is still considering whether he will do so.

Michigan loses Livers, guard Mike Smith, guard Chaundee Brown and forward Austin Davis from this year’s team that won the Big Ten title and reached the Elite Eight.

The Wolverines also await NBA draft decisions from sophomore guard Franz Wagner and freshman center Hunter Dickinson.

Livers missed this year’s NCAA Tournament because of a right foot injury and is recovering from surgery earlier this month.
