Michigan State basketball freshman point guard A.J. Hoggard reportedly had meniscus surgery a few weeks ago but should still be ready for the start of the season.
Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported the injury news after speaking with head coach Tom Izzo.
Tom Izzo tells me that Michigan State freshman A.J. Hoggard had meniscus surgery recently and has been out about two weeks, but should be ready for the start of the season on 11/25.

Hoggard — who was ranked as the No. 74 overall prospect in the 2020 class by 247Sports — is expected to contend with Foster Loyer for the starting point guard position this upcoming season. With Hoggard out for the past two weeks, I’d now expect Loyer to get the nod as the starter to begin the season.
Rothstein also reported that Izzo “raved about Foster Loyer’s progression” during his conversation with the Spartans’ head coach, but that the point guard position is still not set.
