During his media session on Wednesday afternoon, Illinois head coach John Groce informed the media that senior guard Khalid Lewis will be active for the team's game against Michigan State on Thursday. Lewis has missed the last two games after being diagnosed with the mumps.

Lewis, who had taken over a majority of the minutes at point guard before his illness, is averaging 3.7 points and 3.2 assists per game. So this is pretty good news for an Illini team that's struggled to stay healthy this year.
