Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo, in a recent media session, addressed the departure of players from the team but kept the possibility of Jase Richardson returning open. Despite Richardson's entry into the NBA draft process, Izzo mentioned that there is no definitive closure on the matter, indicating a chance for him to reconsider.
Izzo encouraged Richardson to test the NBA waters, expressing confidence in his potential draft stock. The decision for Richardson may hinge on feedback regarding his draft prospects and potential playing time in the NBA. If faced with the prospect of G-League development, Richardson could opt to return to Michigan State for further refinement under Izzo's guidance.
