Junior guard Moira Joiner shoots a three at the Breslin Center on Nov. 16, 2021. Michigan State women's basketball took down Valparaiso 73-62, as Head Coach Suzy Merchant claimed her 500th win.
—Michigan State women's basketball announced today that junior guard Moira Joiner will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season due to injury.
Joiner originally sustained what appears to be another concussion on Dec. 9 in a game against Illinois and has since been placed on concussion protocol by the MSU Sports Medicine team multiple times.
“Obviously, we are disappointed and heartbroken for Mo,” Michigan State Head Coach Suzy Merchant said in the release. “She is one of the toughest Spartans that I have ever coached. She was trying to come back and knows how we are limited in guard play, but you have to put your health and wellness first and listen to the doctors. It is in her best interest right now to shut down for the rest of the season.”
The Saginaw native played in a total of 12 games this season, most recently against Ohio State on Jan. 12 and Purdue on Jan. 9 after a month-long break. She averaged 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
