According to a district court in East Lansing, Nix was arrested about 12:20 a.m. Tuesday.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said in a statement that Nix’s future with the Spartans is in jeopardy.
Nix averaged 8.1 points this season as a junior, and his improvement was a big reason why Michigan State tied for first in the Big Ten Conference and won the league tournament.
