MSU basketball will be without sophomore forward Marvin Clark Jr. for 6-8 weeks due to a foot injury, MSU announced on Tuesday.

In the 2014-15 season, Clark Jr. opened the eyes of Spartan fans and set a record for most games played in by a freshman (39), tying with teammate and sophomore guard Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn Jr.

The Spartans first exhibition game of the season is just over six weeks away on Nov. 4 against Northern Michigan.

Roughly eight weeks away, is a non-conference matchup against Kansas at The Champions Classic in Chicago. Clark Jr. played high school basketball in Kansas for the Prep Team at Sunrise Christian Academy.

Clark Jr. started in seven games this past season and averaged 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds. He had back-to-back 15-point games in early season match-ups against Loyola Chicago and Santa Clara.
