Auburn Hills – Former Michigan State forward Nick Ward was back in the state he called home during three seasons in East Lansing, working out for the Detroit Pistons at the team’s practice facility in Auburn Hills on Friday, ahead of next Thursday’s NBA Draft.
Ward has been trying to reverse the negative impact on his draft stock caused by a fractured hand that forced him to miss the final five games of the Spartans’ regular season and limited his role to a reserve in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments.
