Six Michigan State alumni are on NBA rosters for the 2026-27 season, each on a different team. The group splits evenly between forwards and guards — 3 of each — with no centers in the mix.
Heights range from 6'1" to 6'10", and ages span from 20 to 36, giving the cohort a wide generational spread. All 6 were born in the United States, with 2 born in Michigan, the state that houses their alma mater.

The Oldest and Youngest Spartans in the League
Draymond Green, wearing #23 for the Golden State Warriors, is the oldest of the group at 36. He stands 6'6" and was born in Saginaw, MI. At the other end, Jase Richardson of the Orlando Magic is just 20 years old — the youngest on this list and also the shortest at 6'1". Richardson wears #11 and was born in Denver, CO.
How the Six Players Spread Across Teams
Each of the 6 players lands on a different franchise, so Michigan State has no single outpost in the league this season — the alumni are spread one to a team. Jaren Jackson Jr. (#20, 6'10") represents the group's tallest player with the Utah Jazz, while Max Christie (#0, 6'5") suits up for the Dallas Mavericks and Gary Harris plays for the Detroit Pistons. Miles Bridges, a 6'7" forward born in Flint, MI, is with the Phoenix Suns.
