BJ Freeman, Arizona State’s leading scorer this season, is no longer with the program, a team spokesperson told the Arizona Republic on Sunday.
The guard had averaged 13.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game over 25 games (22 starts) in his first season with the Sun Devils.
He was suspended for Arizona State’s 86-73 road loss to Oklahoma State on Feb. 9 because of conduct detrimental to the team before returning. The spokesperson did not clarify Sunday whether Freeman was dismissed from the team or left on his own.
The news comes as Arizona State (12-14, 3-12), second-to-last in the Big 12, prepared to play at Kansas State on Sunday afternoon.
Freeman transferred to Arizona State from Milwaukee, where he was a two-time All-Horizon League selection in his first two seasons of college basketball. He averaged a conference-high 21.1 points per game last season and has career averages of 17.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 84 games (70 starts).
