'Special player': Draymond Green's No. 23 to be retired by Michigan State

East Lansing – Another jersey will hang from the rafters at the Breslin Center.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo announced Monday that former Spartan and current member of the Golden State Warriors Draymond Green will have his No. 23 retired during a ceremony on Dec. 3, the same night No. 1 Michigan State hosts No. 4 Duke in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

“Draymond has been a special player,” Izzo said. “He’s a guy that’s always made other people better. I think that’s what our program stands for. He’s given me, personally, so much. The phone calls, the talks, the times I’ve gone out there.
