Jaxon Kohler replaces Xavier Booker in MSU basketball starting lineup

Michigan State’s head coach Tom Izzo, center, talks with Xavier Booker, right, as Jaxon Kohler, left, looks on during men’s basketball media day on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

Tom Izzo has made a change to his team ahead of the Spartans matchup with Bowling Green inside of the Breslin Center on Saturday night.

At the power forward spot in the starting lineup, Jaxon Kohler will now be the starter ahead of Xavier Booker.

To start the 2024-25 season, Kohler has averaged 12.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Booker has struggled, only averaging 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.

Hopefully this is the spark that Booker needs, while maintaining Kohler’s success.
