Published:
Bad news on the injury report continues to pour in at Michigan State.
On Thursday, Spartans head coach Tom Izzo told reporters after practice that guard Matt McQuaid recently suffered a right ankle sprain and is questionable for Saturday’s game against Indiana. Izzo, being the optimist, is hopeful McQuaid will be able to take the floor.
Michigan State has battled a slew of injuries this season. In December, the team lost star Joshua Langford and recently lost Nick Ward to a hand injury. Langford is out for the year and Ward could return at some point this season, but there is not a timetable.
Tom Izzo said after the team’s practice today G Matt McQuaid sprained his right ankle recently, but is “hopeful” the senior can play Saturday at Indiana.
