Earlier this week, Joshua Langford announced his retirement from basketball, stepping away after a five-year career with Michigan State basketball and forgoing a free year of eligibility.

Langford’s departure was expected, but it still shot down the notion that Tom Izzo would be talking to him about potentially rejoining the Spartans in 2021-22. He leaves a big void on the wing as the once-promising shooting guard’s playing career ended on a sour note due to injuries.
