Tom Izzo updates injury scare to Jase Richardson

Tom Izzo updates injury scare to Jase Richardson

Michigan State basketball played host to Samford on Tuesday night, where the Spartans took care of business, 83-75.

Towards the end of the win, star freshman Jase Richardson went down with an apparent lower leg injury after an awkward fall.

After the win, in his post game press conference, Tom Izzo addressed the injury to the freshman guard, stating that he thinks it is just a sprain.

Izzo said, “Richardson is probably going to miss a few days, there’s no question about that. But I don’t know how long it will be.”

Michigan State basketball opened up the regular season with a convincing victory over Monmouth on Monday.

The Spartans led the entire way in route to the 81-57 victory over the Hawks. Monmouth cut the Spartans’ lead to six points early into the second half, but from that point Michigan State built a lead that was comfortable until the final whistle.

Michigan State was led in scoring by guard Jaden Akins, who had a career-high tying 23 points night. Freshman Jase Richardson also reached double-digits with 10 points in his first career game as a Spartan.

Tom Izzo gives high praise to Michigan State basketball freshman Jase Richardson

Tom Izzo gave a huge compliment to freshman Jase Richardson

Michigan State basketball has a huge legacy player joining the program this fall in former 4-star combo guard Jase Richardson. While Tom Izzo has been careful not to spend too much time comparing Jase to his father, MSU legend Jason Richardson, he did use that comparison to give Jase a huge compliment on Thursday.

Here is what he said:

‘He might even be ahead of where his dad was, which was pretty exciting considering how he ended up.’

He did note that Jase needs to get stronger and they are still figuring out his best position.

Jase Richardson pulled out his pops jersey at MSU madness

Michigan State freshman Jase Richardson is the son of an MSU legend, who helped Tom Izzo get his first title in East Lansing, Jason Richardson.

The elder Richardson was known for his high flying talent, and Spartan fans are hoping that the younger Richardson can replicate some of the fireworks that his dad brought to the court.

While Coen Carr stole the show during the MSU madness dunk contest, there was a cool moment from Jase, who brought out his dad’s jersey for his turn in front of Spartan Nation.

WATCH: Jase Richardson’s crazy 4-point play helps No. 19 Columbus ice No. 2 Paul VI

Columbus has now beat No. 2 Paul VI and No. 3 Long Island Lutheran, with the help of Jase Richardon’s crazy 4-point play.

Just two days after beating the No. 3 team in the country, Columbus looked to do one better against No. 2 Paul VI. The Explorers led for much of the second half on Monday at the Hoophall Classic, but were struggling to pull away from one of the best teams in the country.

Yet the Explorers wanted to prove that they, too, deserved that distinction as a top team in the nation.

Paul VI cut the score to a one-possession game with about a minute-and-a-half left when Jase Richardson caught a pass on the left corner. The southpaw put up a shot, got hit, and made the basket. He sunk the free throw to push the lead to seven, and Paul VI’s desperation play in the closing minute couldn’t gain any more distance. Columbus won 70-61.

Watch Richardson’s 3-pointer here:

Richardson, the son of former NBA player Jason Richardson, finished with 21 points, six rebounds and four assists.

Cameron Boozer, the top player in the class of 2025 and son of former NBA player Carlos Boozer, finished with 14 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, four steals and four blocks for Columbus.

With the win, Columbus improved its record to 16-4 and now has wins over No. 2 Paul VI, No. 3 Long Island Lutheran, and No. 4 Harvard-Westlake under its belt, setting the stage for a massive ranking jump this week. Paul VI falls to 14-2 on the year.

Cameron Boozer leads No. 19 Columbus to win over No. 3 Long Island Lutheran

Cameron Boozer had 26 points and Jase Richardson had six stocks to lead No. 19 Columbus to its third win against a top-6 team this season.

The 2024 Hoophall Classic at Springfield College in Massachusetts featured one of the games most stacked with high-level Division I prospects so far this season: No. 19 Columbus, headlined by five-star brothers Cameron and Cayden Boozer and four-star brothers Jase and Jaxon Richardson, and No. 3 Long Island Lutheran, with five-star VJ Edgecombe supported by four four-star players and depth from five-star sophomore Dylan Mingo.

Long Island’s blistering start to the season was stymied by Columbus, which gave LoLu its second loss by a score of 81-62. Cameron Boozer led the 15-4 Columbus Explorers with a game-high 26 points in 26 minutes.

Columbus led for almost the entirety of the first half, but Long Island Lutheran snuck a 39-36 lead into the break and maintained that three-point lead through the third quarter.

The Explorers put their foot on the gas in the fourth quarter, though, going on a 25-3 run to take away any chance the Crusaders had at victory. The tough-nose defense resulted in Long Island shooting only 38% from the field, Edgecombe making just five of 14 field goal attempts, and four-star Kiyan Anthony shooting just 2-for-10 off the bench.

In addition to Cameron Boozer’s 26 points and five blocks, Jase Richardson had 20 points to go with nine assists, two blocks, and four steals, and Cayden Boozer had 17 points.

The full game can be found on NBA.com.

Long Island Lutheran now has two losses, with this game adding onto the loss to No. 1 Montverde. With wins against Super 25 teams like No. 11 Don Bosco Prep, No. 15 Link Academy, and No. 23 Mater Dei, the Crusaders remain one of the best teams in the country despite this defeat.

Columbus, meanwhile, has four losses, but don’t let that make you think this victory is a fluke. This is now the third team in the top six of the Super 25 the Explorers have taken down: No. 3 LoLu, No. 4 Harvard-Westlake and No. 6 Prolific Prep. Columbus’ losses are to very good teams: Montverde, Don Bosco Prep, Link Academy, and No. 17 Wasatch.

They’ll test themselves again on Monday when they face off against No. 2 Paul VI.
