Spike out indefinitely for Purdue

Back injury. Very sad and unfortunate way for him to likely end his career. Get well soon!

One of the informal guidelines that they handed down to me at least when I (perhaps foolishly) took on mod responsibilities, is that items on former players, alums, and the like - even transfers - were never OT because they did in fact cross paths with Michigan at some point in their career. 

I don't know if you're responding to someone on the app though, in which case, never mind me.

Always pulling for Spike. Hate to see him go down again. Hopefully it's just an injury that takes time to heal and not something that causes long term pain.

Both hips, and now your back.

You were greatness when you had it, Spike.  You made your mark.  But an NBA career was never in the cards, and I'm guessing someday you'll want to chase around your grandkids.  Listen to what your body's telling you.  I'm sure you've got the will to come back, but how far can you go?  Save what you got left for the rest of your days.  There's a lot of life after basketball.
