East Lansing — While Nick Ward is ready to chase his NBA dreams, Cassius Winston is putting similar plans on hold as he is set to return for his senior season at Michigan State.
Ward, who entered the NBA Draft last season before returning to Michigan State, announced on Friday he was again entering the draft and has hired an agent. While new rules mean Ward could still return to Michigan State, the school announced the junior center intends to end his career at Michigan State.
Winston, the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year, will put the NBA off until after his final season with the Spartans.
