MSU forward Joey Hauser says unlikely he’ll return for another season

Joey Hauser leaves door open for a possible return to MSU but it sounds like he’ll be done after this year

Could Joey Hauser return for another season at Michigan State in 2023-24? He technically can but he doesn’t expect to be back for the Spartans next year.

Hauser was asked about his future at Michigan State beyond this year earlier this week, and he said it’s unlikely he’ll be back for another season in the green-and-white. See below what Chris Solari of The Detroit Free Press tweeted on Hauser’s future:

Hauser has the ability to return for one final season due to the extra COVID year. It, however, would create a potential log jam on the roster and available scholarships should he return.
