EAST LANSING – Ben Carter will get a chance to play for Michigan State after all.
The NCAA granted the graduate transfer forward a sixth year of eligibility today after Carter suffered a knee injury that kept him out all of the 2016-17 season.
“I honestly didn’t know if the waiver would be granted,” Carter said in a release, “but I kept praying that I would be able to play one more year of college basketball.”
The 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward from Las Vegas suffered his first knee injury in January 2016 while playing in his only season at UNLV.
