"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michigan State forward Branden Dawson has a fractured left wrist and will miss at least the team's next two games, the team announced Thursday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fracture is \"stable\" and \"non-displaced,\" according to the program, and Dawson could return in time for the Spartans' Big Ten opener on Dec. 30 against Maryland.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dawson sustained the injury in Michigan State's win over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday, at which time the team called it a sprain and said Dawson would undergo further testing.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With 15:30 remaining in the second half, the senior&amp;nbsp;fell awkwardly on his wrist after a dunk attempt. Dawson went to the locker room and later returned to the bench with his left hand wrapped in ice but did not check back into the game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;WINN: Power Rankings: Analyzing Arizona's offense&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dawson broke the same hand last season, an injury which forced him to miss nine games before he returned toward the end of February.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Spartans went on to defeat the Eagles 66-46 on Wednesday night. Dawson had four points and seven rebounds in 18 minutes.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dawson is Michigan State's leading rebounder (8.5) and is tied for third on the team in scoring (11.6).\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u200B&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;HAMILTON: Freshman Russell leading the charge for Ohio State&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michigan State plays Texas Southern and The Citadel in its next two games. The Maryland game is next after that.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Spartans are 8-3 this season after defeating the Eagles on Wednesday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Ben Estes&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
