Darius Paul was dismissed from the Illinois program on Friday night, following his second suspension.
“After further review of the situation, Darius has been dismissed from our team,” Illinois head coach John Groce said in a statement. “Although his playing days here are over, we are committed to helping him move forward.”
Paul, who never appeared in a single game for the Fighting Illini was suspended indefinitely following an arrest for vandalism, public intoxication, resisting arrest during the team’s tour of France.
The 6-foot-8 forward is the younger brother of former Illinois star guard Brandon Paul.
