Michigan State got some good news on the injury front heading into tomorrow’s Champions Classic. Fifth-year senior guard Kyle Ahrens is expected to play after suffering a high ankle sprain in the Spartans’ preseason scrimmage vs. Gonzaga on October 19.
“Hopefully Kyle Ahrens, he’s been progressing in practice, will definitely be able to play,” Tom Izzo told reporters this morning, adding later that he’ll work with Ahrens to gauge his playing time and pain.
Ahrens averaged 4.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists for the Spartans last season before injuring his ankle in the Big Ten Championship and missing all of the NCAA Tournament.
