Michigan State guard Watts will miss Big Ten opener, is game-to-game after that

East Lansing — The hits keep coming for Michigan State.

Already playing without guard Joshua Langford, who could miss the entire season, coach Tom Izzo said Friday that freshman guard Rocket Watts is dealing with a lower-leg injury that will keep him out of Sunday’s Big Ten opener against Rutgers and potentially next weekend’s game on Dec. 14 when No. 11 Michigan State (5-3) takes on Oakland at Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit.
