Virginia guard Nigel Johnson will miss the next three games after being suspended for a violation of team rules, the school announced Wednesday.
Johnson, a 6-foot-1 guard who played at Kansas State and Rutgers before transferring as a graduate student to Virginia, is averaging 5.5 points. Johnson was scoreless in nine minutes against Duke on Saturday, but he has hit double-figures in scoring on three occasions this season -- including a 22-point effort against Davidson in December.
Virginia (20-1, 9-0 in the ACC) hosts Louisville on Wednesday before heading to Syracuse on Saturday and Florida State next Wednesday.
