COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Former Duke guard Rasheed Sulaimon will play his final season at Maryland.
Coach Mark Turgeon announced the addition of Sulaimon on Monday. The Houston native said on Twitter that he is ”blessed and honored for the opportunity.”
Duke coach Mike Krzyzyewski kicked Sulaimon off the team Jan. 29 – one day after losing at Notre Dame – for being ”unable to consistently live up to the standards” of his program.
Sulaimon averaged 7.5 points, 2 rebounds and 1.8 assists while coming off the bench in all 20 games prior to his dismissal. He started 33 of 36 games as a freshman, then bounced in and out of the starting lineup in 2013-14.
Sulaimon was in good academic standing when he was dismissed, remained enrolled and expects to graduate this summer.
