Miami Hurricanes freshman forward Matt Cross is no longer on the men’s basketball team, UM coach Jim Larrañaga announced Thursday afternoon.
The Miami released revealed no other information around the former four-star recruit’s situation after Cross was held out of Wednesday night’s loss to Florida State.
“Head coach Jim Larrañaga announced Thursday afternoon that freshman forward Matt Cross will no longer be with the program, effective immediately,” the release simply said, before stating that the Hurricanes’ next game is at Wake Forest on Saturday.
Larrañaga told reporters it was a coach’s decision not to play Cross against FSU on Wednesday night while UM was already without five rotation players due to injury.
