Michigan State basketball commit Gabe Brown, a four-star small forward in the 2018 class, suffered a knee injury recently.

Just a few weeks ago, four-star small forward Gabe Brown committed to Michigan State basketball’s 2018 class. He became the third Spartan pledge as well as keeping the all-Michigan class intact. He received a Michigan State offer on June 17 and committed three days later, per his late dad’s wishes.

With the look of a future star and a kid who has so much potential, fans were excited to see what he could bring to the table. However, they will have to wait to see his progress until the start of his senior season with Belleville. In fact, he announced that he suffered a slight knee injury that will keep him out until his high school’s basketball season.

Brown posted the news via Twitter on Sunday, stating that he is sad that his AAU career has come to an end like this, but he will be back and even stronger.

At least the news isn’t that he completely tore a ligament in his knee, which would likely require surgery and a six-plus month rehab. An ACL injury would be the worst-case scenario. Luckily, it was just a slight tear of a knee ligament and doctor’s told him that he would be good to go for the start of his final high school season.
