Junior wing Kyle Ahrens is out for the season, MSU coach Tom Izzo confirmed on Tuesday at his weekly news conference. 

Ahrens, who has not played since last season, was ruled out indefinitely before the start of the season after he re-injured a stress reaction in his right foot. The 6-foot-6 native of Versailles, Ohio, initially sustained the injury in a summer league game and thought he'd be out four to five weeks.

In 34 games last season he averaged eight-plus minutes a game. He also averaged 2.6 points and 1.1 rebounds last season.

MSU is off until Friday, when it hosts Indiana at 7 p.m.
