Michigan State Spartans senior Josh Langford to miss rest of the season

This isn't the news that the Michigan State Spartans wanted to hear.

Senior Joshua Langford won't suit up for the 2019-20 season after undergoing a second surgery to repair a stress reaction in his foot.

Langford had originally injured his foot in December of 2018 during a game against Illinois, and didn't play the rest of the season. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated in January, but underwent surgery after being evaluated in New York earlier this week.

“It was a very successful surgery,” Izzo said Thursday after practice. “I talked to his dad and everybody else – very positive. Some of the things that happened the last time, but they took it to another level as far as getting blood flowing to that bone in his foot. … So what does that mean for his future? I think there was a worry that he may never play basketball again. I think that is more gone.”

For fellow senior Cassius Winston, it's tough seeing a teammate go down.

“It’s tough, just with what he means to the team and the program, what kind of kid he is,” Winston explained. “It’s tough to see a break like that in a couple seasons. He’s put his all into his game and this program.”
