Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine Out 2-3 Weeks After Knee Surgery

The Michigan State Spartans look to remain unbeaten and look to win their 15th straight regular season game. Izzo compared the procedure with one that cost MSU senior center Goran Suton a couple weeks in the 2008-09 season, and the expectation is that Valentine will be 100% healthy when he returns, as early as January 7 against IL.

“It’s very, very, very minor”, Izzo said of a piece of cartilage that had to be removed after Valentine came down awkwardly on a lay-up during Sunday’s practice.

The good news is, Valentine is expected to make a full recovery after sitting out Tuesday night’s game against Oakland at The Palace of Auburn Hills and MSU’s first two Big Ten games at Iowa on December 29 and at Minnesota on January 2. That proved to be a scary combination as the Golden Grizzlies stormed to a 14-point second-half lead, withstood a ferocious Michigan State rally and regrouped to force overtime before falling 99-93. Without that option, Michigan State should be less of a challenge to defend. Valentine and others have talked for weeks about the opportunity to set the school record for best start, and that record will belong to the Spartans if they win this game.

“We’re nearly plugging into a multi-position guy”, Spartans coach Tom Izzo said.

Harris is averaging seven points per game this season, after averaging more than 17 per game two seasons ago at West Virginia.

Kahlil Felder has been that player for Oakland (7-3), which is off to its best start since joining Division I in 1998.

Oakland dropped 50 points on the Spartans in the first half and shot 50 percent from the floor. The Michigan State Spartans have won 10 of their last 12 neutral games. He’s also shooting 45.6 percent this season, including 40 percent of his three-pointers.

I’ve been keeping track of everyone’s Plus-Minus with excel formulas and the MSU official box score which say when players are subbed in and out.

The most valuable part of this for the Spartans will be the playing time and experience gained by Harris, Clark Jr. and true freshman Matt McQuaid.

The Spartans have enough depth to survive a short-term absence from their leader, but it will be challenging to win the national title if Valentine misses time in the spring.

His production is quite important to Michigan State’s success, without question. “They know that he’s got rings from when he played here”.
