Jadun Michael At Elon

Elon freshman Ja’Dun Michael has made strides following shoulder surgery in the spring.

ELON — Depth and interchangeable parts look like potential defining characteristics for the Elon men’s basketball team this season in its second year under coach Mike Schrage, even though the Phoenix won’t have a complete cast of contributors on the wing.

Sharpshooting sophomore Zac Ervin is two months past knee surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and therefore won’t be available this season, while highly regarded freshman Ja’Dun Michael, the Burlington product, is considering whether to play as he returns from shoulder surgery in late May.
