Following an embarrassing incident on Wednesday night where he tripped an Elon player, Duke guard Grayson Allen was suspended by the Duke basketball team indefinitely.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski announced the news Thursday morning, citing a “review” of the incident in Greensboro and calling it “unacceptable and inexcusable.”
“We have had the opportunity to thoroughly review the incident involving Grayson Allen from last night’s game against Elon. As I stated last night, the incident was unacceptable and inexcusable,” Krzyzewski said in a statement. “He took an important step last night by apologizing in person to Steven Santa Ana and Coach Matt Matheny. As a program, we needed to take further steps regarding his actions that do not meet the standards of Duke Basketball. To that end, we have determined that Grayson will be suspended from competition for an indefinite amount of time.”The play in question:
General Script
Allen’s now been involved in multiple incidents where he tripped opponents or behaved in a completely unsportsmanlike manner on the court.
The question now is how long will “indefinite” be for the Duke basketball program when it comes to one of its better players.
