The NCAA announced on Wednesday that Memphis freshman James Wiseman has been suspended 12 games and will be eligible to play on Jan. 12.
Wiseman, a 7-foot center, is the potential No. 1 pick in next year’s NBA draft.
NCAA: Wiseman must donate $11.5K to charity
He must also donate $11,500 to a charity of his choice, an amount that matches the payment the NCAA says his mother received from Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway when Wiseman was in high school and relocated to play for Hardaway’s prep team, Team Penny and Memphis’ East High School, which Hardaway also coached.
