UNLV junior Dwayne Morgan will miss the rest of the basketball season, the school announced Thursday.
The news was not unexpected because Morgan has not played since Dec. 10 because of shoulder and hip injuries. Coach Marvin Menzies waited to make a decision on whether to shut down Morgan because doctors need to prove he can’t play again this season before UNLV can ask for a medical redshirt.
UNLV will apply for the extra year after this season. If approved, Morgan would have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
“We were hopeful that Dwayne would be able to return this season,” Menzies said in a statement.
