Pittsburgh forward John Hugley IV will miss the rest of the season to focus on his mental health and injury rehabilitation, and will seek a redshirt year.

Hugley suffered a knee injury in the preseason and missed three of the first four games of the season before suiting up for seven straight games into early December. He hasn't played in the last month due to personal reasons, with coach Jeff Capel saying last month his absence was not related to either academics nor an injury.

The 6-foot-9 power forward from Cleveland released a statement on Saturday morning.
