Former Michigan State forward Xavier Booker transferring to Big Ten member UCLA

Former Michigan State forward Xavier Booker wrote Friday that he’s transferring to UCLA, confirming earlier reports with a post on his social media account. The Spartans expected big things from the 6-foot-11 Booker when he arrived on campus in 2023-24. While he appeared in 60 games, he started only starting five and averaged just 11.3 minutes in two seasons in East Lansing.
