Adreian Payne’s NBA draft jacket honors Lacey Holsworth

The Spartans star brought a little reminder of Lacey Holsworth to the draft.

In that photo you'll find former Michigan State star Adreian Payne pointing to a little embroidery in his suit jacket at the 2014 NBA Draft, where the big man is expected to become a first-round pick. The embroidery reads "Adorable Lacey," according to Joe Rexrode.

Lacey is Lacey Holsworth, an 8-year-old Sparty superfan who struck up a special relationship with Payne and, tragically, died of cancer this year. Huge respect to Payne for helping keep her memory alive.
