As you already know, Markell Johnson is facing a felony assault case which has him suspended from the team until the court makes their ruling, which could come as soon as Jan. 8th.
If Johnson is found not-guilty then it’s likely he’ll be back. If he’s guilty well then… I guess we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it, but he certainly won’t be NC State’s PG for the rest of the season.
Although it’s just one player, Markell Johnson was important to this NC State team in so many ways. With him out, NC State is facing an uphill battle, to say the least.
