On April 27, Nick Emery revealed on social media that he'd be returning to the BYU men's basketball program after leaving it last year while being investigated by the NCAA for receiving improper benefits.

Thursday night, the Cougars announced that Emery will indeed be back for the 2018-2019 campaign, but that per the NCAA, he'll have to sit out the first nine games of the season as part of "reinstatement conditions."

The 6-foot-2 guard out of Lone Peak High School has averaged 14.7 points per game in two seasons with the Cougars and has two years of eligibility remaining.
