Michigan State men's basketball freshman point guard Jeremy Fears suffered a gunshot in the leg near his home in Joliet, Illinois late Friday night or early Saturday morning, according to a report from the Detroit Free Press' Chris Solari.

Solari reports that Fears has undergone surgery and is now in recovery.  His injuries are not considered life-threatening. 

“Jeremy underwent surgery this morning and is resting comfortably," MSU coach Tom Izzo said in a statement. "While there is much we still don’t know, my focus is supporting Jeremy on his road to recovery.”
