Michigan State's Nick Ward is pressured by Ohio State's Kyle Young during the first half Sunday.East Lansing — Michigan State’s Nick Ward had surgery on Sunday night to repair a hairline fracture in his left hand, Spartans coach Tom Izzo confirmed Monday.
Ward, a junior, missed most of the second half of Michigan State’s victory over Ohio State and after the game X-rays revealed the break. The surgery took place later Sunday night and the prognosis remains the same as the Spartans hope the 6-foot-9 center will be back before the regular season ends.
