Thomas Kithier continues to test negative after being pulled from Nebraska game due to illness

Michigan State Basketball finally snapped a four game losing streak over the weekend with a 10-point win over Nebraska. However, they were missing a key contributor, Thomas Kithier, who was pulled before the game and put into isolation as a precaution after exhibiting some symptoms of illness.

Izzo says that Kithier has continued to test negative for COVID-19 and could resume practicing this week with the team.

“Somebody said the new model for coaches should be, ‘Think positive, test negative,'” Izzo said Monday. “And that’d be a good way to look at it. … (Kithier) is on everyday testing now, and every day it’s like (folds hands in prayer). I don’t think you realize what that’s like until you went through it. It’s a strain on you.”
