Divine Ugochukwu, who played guard for the Michigan State Spartans, has entered the transfer portal just before the deadline. After a season impacted by injuries, Ugochukwu averaged 5.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game in 21 appearances, including a standout 23-point performance against Penn State. His decision to transfer, made shortly before the portal closed, has raised eyebrows, as many teams have already filled their rosters. Ugochukwu's exit could ease the competition for playing time in the backcourt, where Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo will need to adjust his lineup for the upcoming 2025-26 season. The Spartans had initially projected Ugochukwu as a starter, and his departure will necessitate a reevaluation of the team's rotation.
