Memphis' James Wiseman Receives 12-Game Suspension

Memphis forward James Wiseman has been suspended for 12 total games but will be eligible to return this season on Jan. 12, the NCAA announced on Wednesday.

Wiseman played in three games this season while ineligible. He must sit the additional games based on "recruiting inducements his family received" before he enrolled at Memphis. The NCAA also says he must donate $11,500 to a charity of his choice. The $11,500 is the same amount of money the NCAA discovered Tigers coach Penny Hardaway paid his mother in moving expenses to help the family relocate from Nashville to Memphis in 2017.
