Kansas Jayhawks sophomore Silvio De Sousa is waiting for the NCAA to decide on his appeal against his suspension.
In the meantime, the 6'9", 245-pound forward has made a decision of his own.
The Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger and Jesse Newell reported Friday evening that De Sousa will declare for the 2019 NBA draft. "De Sousa, speaking with his lawyer Friday at a Lawrence hotel, said he would return to Kansas if his appeal is granted and pursue a professional career if the appeal is rejected," the reporters relayed.
De Sousa was suspended through the 2019-2020 season in February after the NCAA found his guardian to have received payments from a university booster and agent.
