Michigan State forward Malik Hall announced Tuesday that he will return for one final season of college basketball in 2023-24.
Hall opted to use the fifth year of eligibility available to NCAA athletes who played during the 2020-21 “COVID year.”
Hall’s decision comes one day after the Spartans’ leading scorer from this past season, Tyson Walker, announced that he too will be back in 2023-24.
Hall averaged 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in 23 games (five starts) for Michigan State this past season as the Spartans reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
“Michigan State has been my home for the last four years,” Hall wrote in a social media post. “The experience I’ve had during my time as a Spartan has been incredible for me and my family. … Our Sweet Sixteen run was fun this year, but we fell short of our own expectations. Although I battled a foot injury most of this season, I worked hard to help us be the best team we could, but, I was left with a feeling of wanting more! I think Michigan State Basketball has the opportunity to be very special next season and I’m really excited to announce that I will be returning for my final season!”
In 118 career games (30 starts) across four seasons in East Lansing, Hall has posted 6.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per contest.
