Emoni Bates, Ypsi Prep game against Bronny James, Sierra Canyon postponed

It has been a rare treat for Michigan State Basketball fans that they have gotten the chance to watch two of their recruits, Emoni Bates and Jaden Akins, play on national TV this fall. Bates, Akins and Yspi Prep were recently showcased on ESPN2 against Chet Holmgren’s AAU team Team Sizzle.

Bates and Akins were scheduled to play another high-profile game on national TV this Friday against Lebron “Bronny” James Jr., the already-famous son of Lebron James. Unfortunately, that game has been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns.

The Allen Event Center released this statement on Thursday morning:

“The health and safety of the players, coaches, fans and staff is our utmost priority, and with increased travel concerns, we believe it is in everyone’s best interest to postpone the event to a safer time,” the statement from the Allen Event Center read.
