Draymond Green and other NBA players return for Michigan State Grind Week
Summary

Draymond Green, Max Christie, and Kalin Lucas arrived in East Lansing this weekend to participate in Michigan State’s annual Grind Week. The program brings former players back to campus to practice and engage with the current team roster. This year’s event includes 2026 commit Jasiah Jervis, who is now training with the team after his high school career. The session also serves as a recruiting platform, as the staff plans to host four-star recruits Antonio Pemberton and Jaydn Jenkins on campus for visits. Historically, the environment has influenced high-level commitments, including that of current Orlando Magic guard Jase Richardson, who cited his visit during a previous Grind Week as a deciding factor in his recruitment. The group is expected to attend the Michigan State football game against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.
