Two Michigan State basketball players have tested positive for COVID-19. One of them is Tom Izzo’s son.
Freshman Mady Sissoko and sophomore Steven Izzo will not travel with the Spartans as they head to No. 8 Iowa for a 9 p.m. tipoff Thursday, coach Tom Izzo announced during his Wednesday news conference.
“At least for me, I can tell my son and Mady what I went through,” said Tom Izzo, who also had COVID-19 in November just before the season began.
Sissoko, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward, has become an integral part of MSU’s rotation at center.
