Last Night in College Basketball: UNC Upset Duke For a Tobacco Road W

Offers five points off bench Ward supplied five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 76-73 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Ward was solid in his 18 minutes, but didn't impact the game a whole lot and certainly didn't do enough to help the Spartans avoid an upset at the hands of a feisty Minnesota squad. Ward has been a minor bench player for head coach Tom Izzo in his freshman season, averaging 5.0 points and 4.4 rebounds, so this performance was about status quo for the forward. Fantasy-wise, he's not bringing much to the table at this point.

Productive off the bench Ward registered seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT) and seven rebounds over 15 minutes during Thursday's 76-66 victory over Northwestern.

Impact Ward was Michigan State's third-leading rebounder in just 15 minutes of action in the win over Northwestern. The freshman forward has been active on the glass as of late, with 13 rebounds in his last two games. He'll need to do the dirty work in the paint to help earn more minutes, which is exactly what he's doing. Don't expect a huge outing from Ward any time soon, but the forward has played his small role well thus far in East Lansing.

Scoreless in return Ward (hand) scored zero points (0-4 FG) and hauled in one rebound across 11 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Spartans.

Impact Ward made his return to the lineup after sitting out Tuesday's win over Iowa but ended up having a poor performance. He will look to bounce back during the Dec.13 matchup versus Penn State.

Officially questionable Saturday Ward (hand) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Duke.

Impact Ward missed this past Tuesday's win over Iowa, but he could be primed for a return now against Duke. The freshman forward has already been positioned into a meaningful role with the Spartans this season, averaging 9.0 points and 5.1 rebounds across seven games.

Doesn't play Tuesday, probable Sat. Ward (hand) didn't play in Tuesday's win over Iowa but is likely to play in Saturday's game against Duke, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Ward went through shootaround and warmups ahead of Tuesday's game and was reportedly good to go. However, he never left the bench. Ward, who wore a wrap on his right wrist during warmups Tuesday, is likely to be available for Saturday's clash with Duke.

Good to go vs. Iowa Ward (hand) is available against Iowa on Tuesday night, per Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Ward reportedly went through walkthroughs and partook in warmups with a wrap on his right wrist, but he'll be good to go against Iowa. Ward has yet to miss a game this season, and that won't change against the Hawkeyes. The freshman forward averages 9.0 points and 5.1 rebounds.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up Ward is wearing a brace on his right wrist but is participating in shootaround ahed of Tuesday's game against Iowa, Jonah Wilson of Spartans Illustrated reports.

Impact Ward is officially listed as questionable for the contest, but his pregame participation bodes well for his availability. Ward has played an important role off the bench for the Spartans this season.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Ward (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Iowa.

Impact Ward briefly left MSU's most recent game with a wrist injury but returned to the contest. It's unclear if the wrist issue is the reason for his questionable tag Tuesday night. Ward is averaging 9.0 points and 5.1 rebounds across 16.6 minutes per game.

Cam Ward powers Michigan State basketball inside to win over No. 15 Arkansas Michigan State basketball: Freshman Cam Ward dominated in the paint as the No. 21 Spartans took down No. 15 Arkansas on Saturday, Nov. 8.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • FREEP.COM

Lead scorer off bench vs. Arkansas Ward had 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Saturday's 69-66 win over Arkansas.

Impact Ward was quiet in the Spartans' season opener against Colgate, logging just 10 minutes and scoring five points with four rebounds. The 6-foot-9 freshman saw his minutes ramp up to 23 versus the Razorbacks, and he also finished with a double-double of 10 rebounds. While the young forward likely won't get positioned into the starting lineup this early in the season, he looks to be positioned as a main rotator and contributor in the games to come.
