Michigan's Zavier Simpson suspended for Nebraska game for 'violation of team policies'

Ann Arbor — A brutal stretch has gotten even worse for the reeling Wolverines.

Michigan announced on Monday that senior point guard Zavier Simpson has been suspended due to a "violation of team policies" and will miss Tuesday night’s game at Nebraska.

"Anyone, one through 16, I will hold accountable,” coach Juwan Howard said. “You break a team rule, you break a team rule, no matter who you are. No one is bigger or better than the team.”

Howard said he’s keeping which team rule Simpson violated “in-house” and added his suspension will be re-evaluated after Tuesday’s contest.
