The bodies of Justin Ahrens and Musa Jallow have held them back a bit this offseason.
Ahrens missed the most significant time this summer, Chris Holtmann said on Tuesday, with a back injury. The sweet-shooting second-year forward lost some weight that he is now working to put back on, per Holtmann.
As he continues to recover, Ahrens remains limited. Given that a back injury also hindered Ahrens’ brother, Kyle, who plays for Michigan State, he and his family are now a bit too familiar with that part of the body.
Jallow, a junior wing, has dealt with swelling in one of his ankles, Holtmann said.
