If there was any doubt that Michigan State’s Draymond Green was going to play this weekend against Michigan, well, doubt no more.
Michigan State Spartans forward Draymond Green says he's good to go Sunday against Michigan: Bradley Leeb-US Presswire
Green, who suffered a knee injury last Tuesday against Illinois, sounds like he is good to go.
“I’m fine, I don’t have to convince anyone of anything,” Green said Friday. “This is Michigan State and we’re built on toughness.”
The Spartans (17-5, 6-3 Big Ten) battle Michigan (17-6, 7-3)on Sunday at home. Tipoff is at 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on CBS.
At first, Green’s injury seemed to be quite bad, but the X-ray came back negative and it was just something that was going to be sore for a while.
“It’s just one of those things that you gotta work your way back into everything and that’s what I’m doing,” Green said.
And if anyone thought he would sit against Michigan — his final regular-season game against Michigan — think again.
“I’ll sit out next game, but I won’t sit out this game,” Green said.
Oh, and this was his message to the Wolverines: “Tell them to go at me. We’ll see if I can move on Sunday.”

I've been a sports fan all my life, particularly a college sports fan. I graduated from Boise State in 2004 with a degree in mass communications/journalism and went on to become the sports editor at the Idaho Press-Tribune in nearby Nampa, Idaho. I covered the Boise State Broncos for more than seven years and was around the program as way back as the Big West days.
My wife, who is a lieutenant in U.S. Navy, got stationed in San Diego in 2009, so off we went — with our two boys in tow — to a place that has only one change in season — Daylight Savings Time.
Though I am a Boise State alumnus, and I do call Idaho home, I was born and raised in Michigan (and I do have at least one family member who is an MSU alum). I love Michigan State. It's a family tradition. It's also a family tradition to beat up on those damn Wolverines. Sparty on!
