Michigan State's Nick Ward leaves Sweet 16 game clutching left hand

Michigan State's Nick Ward clutched his left hand as he left Friday's Sweet 16 game against LSU in the second half.

Ward, who suffered a hairline fracture in his left hand on Feb. 17, fell hard to the ground with just over 6 minutes left in the half after trying to battle Naz Reid for a rebound.

Officials reviewed the play and assessed a Flagrant-1 foul because Ward was deemed to be in a vulnerable position.
