Touching scenes as Michigan State honors Cassius Winston’s brother

Posted Nov 13, 2019
Cassius Winston suited up Sunday. He didn’t have to. He wasn’t expected to. After staying with the Winston family until 4 a.m. Sunday, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo let Cassius know it was up to him. If he wanted to play, his teammates had his back. If taking the court after his younger brother died was too much, then his team had his back then, too. (NBC Sports)
