Normal minutes despite ankle issue Walker provided four points (2-5 FG), one rebound and eight assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 64-62 loss to Northwestern.

Impact It's worth noting that Walker asked to be removed from a Jan. 12 contest against Minnesota due to an ankle injury (per Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal), but he appeared closer to his regular minutes workload here. Walker has served as the de-facto starting point guard for the Spartans and has multiple double-digit assist games, but A.J. Hoggard still sees plenty of run as well. In any case, the Northeastern transfer will get nearly a week on the sidelines before heading to Madison for an all-important conference matchup with the Badgers.
