DIMONDALE - Kyle Ahrens arrived at the Moneyball Pro-Am Thursday night for the first time this summer and picked up his jersey at the check-in table.
The Michigan State redshirt junior wing was greeted by his summer league teammates, who promptly offered advice for the upcoming game at Aim High Sports in Dimondale. The gist of it was don't let Michigan State forward Nick Ward get the ball or you won't have a chance to shoot.
Ahrens laughed along but filling up a box score in July was not his primary focus. After missing all of last season with a foot injury, he is fully healthy and eager just to play again.
