MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Memphis coach Josh Pastner says freshman
Jelan Kendrick is dealing with a "personal matter" and that they
will "revisit the situation" when the McDonald's All-American
returns to the Tigers.
The 6-foot-6 guard last practiced with the Tigers on Friday.
CBSSports.com reported Tuesday that Kendrick has been indefinitely
suspended while school officials investigate a verbal threat the
freshman made against a teammate.
Asked if Kendrick had been suspended for fighting with
teammates, Pastner said before practice Tuesday that he wanted to
be consistent on what he calls a personal matter.
The Atlanta, Ga., native was rated the No. 8 prospect by
Rivals.com and PrepStars.com Scout.com rated him the nation's No. 2
shooting guard.
