EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State forward Thomas Kithier has a broken nose that is not expected to keep him out of the season-opening game.
Kithier was injured by an inadvertent elbow at practice. He has been cleared to practice and play in games.
The top-ranked Spartans face No. 2 Kentucky on Tuesday in New York. Kithier is a candidate to start at forward. The 6-foot-8 sophomore averaged 1.6 points and 1.3 rebounds while he was used sparingly in 31 games last season.
