Michigan State's Gavin Schilling: Chances of returning slim

Coach Tom Izzo has suggeted that it's unlikely Schilling (knee) will return this season, the Lansing State Journal reports.

Analysis:

Schilling's exact injury has not been revealed, but the fact that it was non-contact and required surgery indicates that it was likely major in nature. Should the senior be unable to return this season, it's possible he will be handed a medical redshirt and an additional year of eligibility. He's been a key contributor off the bench for the Spartans throughout his career and could see a fair amount of action as a senior when he does take the court again.
