MSU forward out 3 weeks

Michigan State forward Hall will be sidelined for about three weeks due to a stress reaction in his left foot, the school announced Thursday. The 12thranked Spartans face No. 18 Alabama on Thursday night in the opening round of the Phil Knight Invitational. Along with Hall, the Spartans are not expected to have staring guard Jaden Akins against the Crimson Tide. Hall felt discomfort in his foot following Michigan State’s win over Villanova last week and further examination revealed the injury. No surgery is needed, the school said.
