Yaxel Lendeborg was brutally honest about playing hurt in UConn-Michigan

Michigan standout forward Yaxel Lendeborg was brutally honest about how much pain he was playing in during Monday night's national title game in Indianapolis against UConn . Lendeborg entered the game with multiple ailments and was a question mark to play after Saturday's Final Four game. As CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson interviewed Lendeborg at halftime, he was incredibly real about how he was feeling.

"I feel awful; I feel super weak right now," Lendeborg told Wolfson before expounding a bit more on his condition. Honestly, we really appreciate the honesty. We really feel like we learned something about how much pain Lendeborg was in, if it wasn't already obvious with him playing hurt.

At least he didn't try to hide it! "I feel awful, I feel super weak right now. " Yaxel kept it real during his halftime interview 😅 pic.
