Michigan State guard Divine Ugochukwu will miss the remainder of the season due to a left foot injury, head coach Tom Izzo announced Friday.
Per Izzo, Ugochukwu will undergo surgery next week after sustaining the injury during the first half of the 10th-ranked Spartans 76-73 loss to Minnesota on Wednesday.
The setback was the second in a row for Michigan State (19-4, 9-3 Big Ten), which hosts No. 5 Illinois (20-3, 11-1) on Saturday in East Lansing, Mich. The Fighting Illini have won 12 in a row.
Ugochukwu averaged 5.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22 games (12 starts) this season with the Spartans. He transferred from Miami during this past offseason.
The loss of Ugochukwu leaves Michigan State with Jeremy Fears, Kur Teng, Trey Fort and Harvard transfer Denham Wojcik at the guard position.
