Kentucky women’s basketball announced the dismissal of sophomore forward Zennia Thomas on Tuesday as a result of undisclosed disciplinary issues.

The dismissal follows Thomas’ indefinite suspension that was announced back in November prior to the Wildcats matchup against the Boston College Eagles.

“We hold our players to a high standard at Kentucky,” head coach Kyra Elzy told UK Athletics. “Unfortunately, when someone does not consistently meet those standards, I have to make the tough decision to dismiss them from the program. We wish Zennia and her family nothing but the best moving forward.”

Thomas arrived in Lexington as a highly touted recruit out of high school, averaging 30 points and 14 rebounds a game in her senior campaign at Warrensville Heights.
