Notes & Quotes: Preparations continue for Tom Izzo and Michigan State men’s basketball

Michigan State men’s basketball had a post-practice media availability session on Tuesday. Head coach Tom Izzo and some players were accessible to the media.

Izzo opened by addressing the injuries on the team. He said that senior forward Malik Hall was back at practice on Monday after being out for nine days. Meanwhile, sophomore guard Jaden Akins is still recovering from a foot injury.

“Jaden (Akins) is making progress, but it’s not the same team when you have two starters out,” Izzo said. “It’s a shame. He had such a good summer.”

Tom Izzo says Jaden Akins is making progress regarding his recovery.
