Michigan State basketball's Thomas Kithier doesn't test positive for COVID-19

Thomas Kithier and Michigan State appear to have avoided the COVID-19 bullet.

On Saturday, the junior was forced to leave during the first half of Michigan State’s victory over Nebraska, saying he did not feel well, and was placed in isolation Saturday night.

After a handful of tests, however, Kithier has not tested positive for the coronavirus.

“He’s tested negative the last two days, so that's a positive,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said Monday. “Somebody told me that the new model for coaches should be, ‘Think positive, test negative.’ And that would probably be a good way to look at it.
