Cam Ward - Available for UConn Exhibition Ward (ankle) is available for Michigan State's exhibition clash with UConn on Tuesday, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Ward missed the Spartans' first exhibition game against Incarnate Word, but the sophomore forward is back in action against UConn. Ward is expected to provide frontcourt depth for Michigan State in 2026-27 after he averaged 5.1 points and 4.2 rebounds off the bench as a freshman last year.

Jeremy Fears Jr. - Named B1G Preseason POY Fears was named the Big Ten's Preseason Player of the Year, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Fears is coming off a tremendous season in which he established himself as one of the best point guards in the country as a junior. He averaged 15.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and a whopping 9.4 assists on 43/32/89 shooting splits. He's one of the best facilitators in the sport, and he'll pilot a Michigan State squad that should once again be one of the most dangerous in the Big Ten.

Jesse McCulloch - Draws buzz entering season McCulloch is viewed as an under-the-radar frontcourt piece as Michigan State coach Tom Izzo reshapes the roster, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact The update points to a potentially growing role for the Michigan State forward in the frontcourt rotation. While it does not indicate a formal lineup change, it puts McCulloch on the radar heading into the season. The forward averaged 2.4 points and 1.3 rebounds last year.

Cam Ward - Out for exhibition game Ward (ankle) is out for Friday's exhibition game against Incarnate Word, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Returning to Michigan State for his sophomore season is Ward, who played 34 games for the 2025-26 Spartans. MSU's head coach Tom Izzo said that if Friday's game were a regular-season matchup, the second-year student would be available, so it appears that his injured ankle is not in too bad shape. The 2026-27 Spartans' preseason schedule features two more games, the earliest of which is scheduled for Oct. 20 against Connecticut, and perhaps they can use Ward then.

He averaged 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game in the 2024-25 season with the Owls.

JULY 16 • SI.COM
Jordan Scott - Projected as breakout player Scott is projected to be a breakout player during Michigan State's 2026-27 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Beginning from early-February, Michigan State's starting lineup regularly included Scott after Divine Ugochukwu (foot) both struggled and suffered his season-ending injury. Scott impressed, particularly with his three-point scoring, averaging 1.5 three-pointers made on 45.2 percent shooting. Ugochukwu has transferred colleges, and the Spartans' wing depth lacks a proven replacement, so Scott is a frontrunner for his position.
