East Lansing, Mich. - Michigan State men’s basketball sophomore forward Nick Ward has elected to return for his junior year and will be withdrawing his name from consideration for the 2018 NBA Draft.
“It was a great opportunity for me to go through the process and I’m grateful for the feedback I received from NBA teams,” Ward said. “It is my dream to play in the NBA and I’ve learned a lot through my workouts and interviews that will help me when I am ready to make that next step. I know what I need to work on and I’m committed to coming to the gym every day and striving to be the best player I can be.
