Will Wade places 2 players on leaves of absence; suspends 2 more for Tennessee game

LSU coach Will Wade has put two players on "leave of absence" and suspended two more for one game heading into the Tigers' contest against Tennessee.

Wade told reporters on Wednesday evening that freshman forward Galen Alexander is taking a leave of absence from the team and will "look for other places at the end of the season."

Alexander is the only player being kicked from the team at this time as freshman forward Mayan Kiir's leave will be for the remainder of the season but has a chance to make it back on the team at the end of the semester.
