Michigan State’s battle with COVID-19 continues.
With both scheduled games last week postponed because of positive tests from three players, Michigan State announced Monday that three more members of the program — walk-on guard Davis Smith, grad manager Lourawls "Tum Tum" Nairn Jr, and strengh and conditioning coach Marshall Repp — tested positive for the coronavirus Sunday, leading to the postponement of next Saturday’s scheduled home game against Illinois.
“I talked to (Illinois coach) Brad Underwood today,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “Him and I spoke, and following the advice of our medical personnel and theirs, and for the safety of our student-athletes, we will be postponing the game on Saturday, too, because we've had three more positives.
