Winston Returning to MSU, Ward headed for NBA Draft

Michigan State’s basketball team had two big question marks surrounding the roster for next season, and now those two questions have been answered.

Nick Ward will declare for the NBA Draft, hire an agent, and end his MSU career per a release from the school.

The junior forward had an up-and-down final season in East Lansing, suffering a hand injury late in the regular season. He was able to return for the post-season, but didn’t ever quite regain the form that he had earlier in the year.

Ward leaves Michigan State with 1,359 points and 681 rebounds.
