Aaron Henry made the decision to declare for the 2021 NBA Draft on Monday, announcing he would sign with an agent and would not return to Michigan State next season. After a big year in East Lansing, the news wasn’t that surprising.
Hours after Henry made the announcement about his future, head coach Tom Izzo commented on Henry’s decision. The longtime leader of the Spartans thinks Henry is making a great decision and fully supports the move.
