Jan. 9--The Spartans will likely postpone the retirement ceremony for Morris Peterson's No. 42 jersey and reschedule it for later this season, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.
The ceremony had tentatively been planned for Saturday's game against Kansas. Peterson, who helped the Spartans win a national championship in 2000, is in his ninth NBA season and plays guard for the New Orleans Hornets. He is coming off an injury and Izzo said the Spartans will probably find a more convenient ceremony date for him.
