Former Spartan basketball star Mateen Cleaves will be signing autographs from 5-7 p.m. Friday at Eastwood Towne Center in Lansing Township.

Cleaves, who is about to start his third NBA season, will meet and greet fans at the grand opening of the Sprint store, 2959 Preyde Blvd., in the new shopping center, located on Lake Lansing Road near U.S. 127.

Cleaves, a three-time All-American, played point guard for the Spartans from 1996-2000 and led MSU to a national championship his senior year.

The two-time Big Ten Player of the Year holds MSU records for most assists in a game, season and career.

The Sacramento Kings traded the Flint native to the Cleveland Cavaliers last week.

He started his professional career with the Detroit Pistons.
