Michigan State to retire Draymond Green's No. 23
Draymond Green had an incredibly illustrious career at Michigan State, and head coach Tom Izzo announced the Spartans will be honoring him this season.
During a Dec. 3 showdown with No. 4 Duke, the Spartans will officially retire Green’s No. 23. A four-year player at Michigan State, Green wore No. 23 with the Spartans before also donning it for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA.
Michigan State Basketball shared the announcement:
2⃣3⃣ will hang in the rafters forever as we retire @Money23Green's No. 23 on December 3rd 💚
"This is a fitting honor for one of the ultimate winners in Michigan State history."
