Virginia forward Austin Nichols has been dismissed from the basketball team three days after making his 2016-17 season debut.
Per VirginiaSports.com, head coach Tony Bennett announced Nichols' dismissal on Friday.
“It’s a privilege to be a part of this program, and Austin has lost that privilege,” Bennett said. “We have standards for our student-athletes, and when those standards aren’t met, there are consequences, and this is the unfortunate consequence.”
Nichols transferred to Virginia last year after playing the previous two seasons at Memphis. He was forced to sit out the 2015-16 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
