LSU basketball coach Will Wade says freshman Mayan Kiir will not return next season

LSU basketball coach Will Wade says freshman forward Mayan Kiir will not return to the team next season.

Kiir was given a "leave of absence" from the team in January when freshman Galen Alexander was also suspended and Wade announced he wasn't going to return to the team.

At the time, Wade said "We are going to give Kiir some time, just like most young kids and young men and young freshmen need as they adjust to some of the pressures of college" but on Monday (March 26) at his season-ending press conference, Wade said Kiir would not return to the team.
