Lockett was charged with assault on February 14th, and was indefinitely suspended from the team. The charges were then dismissed on March 1st, but the school had to their own investigation, which has obviously been completed.
In total, Lockett missed 7 games of action. Even though he is reinstated, Lockett will not play against Clemson tomorrow. His added depth will be a huge plus heading into the postseason.
Lockett came to NC State this offseason as a Graduate Transfer from Florida International.
