Javon Bess to Transfer from Michigan State: Latest Comments and Reaction

The Michigan State Spartans basketball program is still recovering from its shocking first-round defeat at the hands of Middle Tennessee State in the NCAA tournament, and it lost some depth for next season on Monday.

According to Kyle Austin of MLive, forward Javon Bess will transfer this offseason.

The Ohio native looked like he may have turned the corner early in the 2015-16 campaign, as he scored 16 points in the team’s third game of the season and followed it up with 13 points in the next outing. However, that would be the last time he scored in double figures for the rest of the season, and he gradually saw less playing time as the schedule progressed.
