It was a heartbreaking moment on the basketball court, in front of everyone, when Kyle Ahrens re-injured his right foot during a practice in late October 2017. The injury, a Jones fracture to the fifth metatarsal his right foot, devastatingly happened minutes into his first practice of the season. He was coming back from a stress fracture in his right foot during the summer and was hopeful to rejoin the Spartans line-up.
