Kansas men’s basketball head coach Bill Self announced Saturday he has suspended junior guard Brady Morningstar for the first semester. Morningstar started 34 of 35 games for the Jayhawks last season and shot a team high 42% from 3 point range last season.
Self said Morningstar was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated early Saturday morning. The arrest took place in East Lawrence off of I-70 and is the second incident involving the Jayhawks and the police in the last 2 weeks.
“We are aware of the situation,” Self said. “We are also still fact finding. Regardless of the details that concern the reason for him being stopped, he broke team rules that have been much more stringent since last week. Brady was in serious violation of curfew. Because of that and his extremely poor judgment last night, I have decided to suspend him for the first semester from all competition and travel. Brady will remain a member of our team and will participate in all other team functions. We will support him through this, but needless to say I am very disappointed in the sequence of events that took place last night.”
