Michigan's head basketball coach, Juwan Howard, will return to his full coaching duties on Saturday, December 16, after recovering from a heart procedure in September.
An internal review of an incident involving Howard and strength and conditioning coach Jon Sanderson found no grounds for disciplinary action.
Associate head coach Phil Martelli has been leading the team in Howard's absence, with the Wolverines currently holding a 5-5 record.
Rumors of Howard's potential dismissal were dispelled by former teammate Jalen Rose, who confirmed Howard's planned return on social media.
Howard had previously been suspended for five games and fined $40,000 following an altercation with Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft in 2022.
