ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands – Jarron Cumberland took part in practice here Thursday with the University of Cincinnati men's basketball team.

Whether the reigning American Athletic Conference Player of the Year will play Friday in the Bearcats' Paradise Jam opener against Illinois State remains in question.

Cincinnati head coach John Brannen has not yet made a decision, a UC spokesperson told The Enquirer on Thursday.

Cumberland did not play in last week's win against Alabama A&M due to what Brannen called a coach's decision.
