Memphis' James Wiseman Suspended 12 Games, Has to Donate $11.5K to Charity

Memphis center James Wiseman will be suspended a total of 12 games before becoming eligible to play on Jan. 12, the NCAA announced Wednesday.

The freshman is also required to donate $11,500 to a charity of his choice, based on the amount that his mother received from current Memphis head coach Penny Hardaway in 2017.

Wiseman has already sat out Saturday's game against Alcorn State, leaving 11 mostly nonconference games before returning for the bulk of the American Athletic Conference season. He should make his return against South Florida on Jan. 12.
