Foster Loyer is taking a week off to mend.
A left shoulder injury that limited the junior captain in Tuesday’s 75-65 loss at Purdue will force Loyer to miss at least the next two games and possibly more, Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo said Thursday.
“We're gonna give him a week anyway. It's kind of what he decided, the trainer and myself,” Izzo said. “He does not want to have surgery during the year. He wants to finish it off. … There's some guys that just get surgery, and he doesn't want to leave his teammates, he doesn't want to feel like he's bailing out on a season.
