Tom Izzo is back, and his return comes just as Michigan State is getting set to begin the 2020-21 season.
The Spartans coach tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 9 and immediately self-isolated at home. On Monday, the school announced that Izzo was back in the basketball offices after observing practices on Friday and Saturday.
No. 13 Michigan State is scheduled to tip off the season against Eastern Michigan on Wednesday at the Breslin Center.
“I want to thank the medical staff and doctors at Michigan State who helped me over the last two weeks since I tested positive,” Izzo said in a statement.
