East Lansing — Nick Ward continued to go through limited workouts during Michigan State’s practice on Wednesday, but the junior center’s status for Saturday’s regular-season finale against Michigan hasn’t changed much.
According to coach Tom Izzo, that means it’s unlikely Ward will play as the Spartans and Wolverines play with at least a share of the Big Ten championship on the line.
“A million-to-one chance,” Izzo said after practice. “I have no idea. We had no contact today. He will not be allowed to have contact tomorrow, but we’ll get a better feel for how his hand feels and then it just goes according to the pain and getting him back.
