Michigan State’s Miles Bridges leaves game with sprained ankle

Michigan State sophomore Miles Bridges, the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year, sprained his left ankle while driving to the basket during the second half of the No. 2 Spartans’ 93-71 victory over Stony Brook.

Bridges (20 points, 6 rebounds) left the game for the locker room and did not return. He is listed as day-to-day.
