Illini Forward Darius Paul Suspended Again, Sent Home From Europe

The trouble-making forward and brother of former star guard Brandon Paul has been suspended by coach John Groce yet again.

Junior forward Darius Paul, younger brother of former Fighting Illini basketball star Brandon Paul, has been suspended indefinitely and sent home from the team's ongoing European basketball tour, the team announced in a press release early Saturday morning.

Head Coach John Groce supplied a statement in the release, though it left out the exact details of Paul's actions which led to the suspension:

"Darius has been suspended indefinitely after violating team rules during our trip," Groce said.
