Redshirt sophomore Ike Eke’s basketball career has come to an end after being deemed “medically incapacitated to participate in basketball at the collegiate level due to a back injury,” a press release announced Friday.
“Never in (Eke’s) wildest dreams did he imagine not being able to suit up for a game here at Marquette,” head coach Steve Wojciechowski said at Saturday’s open practice. “The reality is his body just wont allow him to play, and its not in his best interest to play from a long term stand point.”
Eke, who is from Lagos, Nigeria, did not spend any game time on the court after redshirting his first two years.
