Overview
- With just over six minutes left in Michigan State’s 80-51 win over USC, referee Jeffrey Anderson stopped play, identified Davis from his courtside seat and, after consulting Izzo, had him escorted out.
- Izzo yelled across the court for Davis to leave and later said he “150%” agreed with the official after Davis berated him.
- Davis apologized publicly the next day, telling the team he took accountability and reaching out to Anderson to apologize as well.
- Izzo said the specific remark would not be disclosed, emphasized it was not racial or sexual, and indicated he would handle the matter directly with Davis.
- No additional discipline has been announced, with Izzo stressing Davis remains important to the program and will continue to be welcomed back.
