Michigan State’s Joshua Langford is out for the season with a foot injury. And, no, the Spartans are not better without him.
Let’s end that right here. His absence depletes the rotation, robs Tom Izzo of a shot-creator, and leaves senior guard Matt McQuaid as the only lockdown perimeter defender on the team.
“Josh has a stress injury that we caught fairly early and we had hoped that, with treatment and rest, he would recover,” Izzo announced in a statement Wednesday.
