Marshawn Wilson and the Northern Illinois have mutually parted ways, the school said in a statement released 90 minutes before the team's home game Tuesday.
“After meeting with Marshawn, it was mutually decided that the best course of action at this time is for him to have a fresh start with another program,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said. “We appreciate Marshawn’s contributions to our program and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.”
In 18 games this season, Wilson averaged 4.9 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. He has seen his time decrease as the year has gone on.
