It’s going to take a while longer for one of Michigan State basketball’s transfers to make his Spartan debut.
Kaleb Glenn, who transferred to Michigan State from Florida Atlantic in April, suffered a right knee injury and was expected to undergo season-ending surgery on Thursday, the program announced Wednesday.
The 6-foot-7 wing was injured during a non-contact team workout on Monday. He’s expected to redshirt this upcoming season and will retain two years of NCAA eligibility.
“I feel terrible for Kaleb and for his family but we will be with them throughout this process,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said in a statement. “It’s awful that this happened just a couple of weeks after he got here in East Lansing and was working out with the guys and getting to know them.”
Glenn came as a needed addition to the Spartans’ forward rotation, one that lost Frankie Fidler to graduation and Xavier Booker to the transfer portal. He was an AAU teammate of starting point guard Jeremy Fears Jr., which had both players excited about the prospects of a reunion. Glenn averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds in his sophomore season at FAU after playing his freshman season at Louisville.
Glenn’s injury creates a hole in Michigan State’s lineup. It might lean heavily on returnees Jaxon Kohler and Coen Carr as a result.
