It has been awhile since Jevon Thomas played meaningful basketball.
The Seton Hall guard has sat on the sidelines for some time, watching and waiting. Now, a year and a half removed from his transfer from Kansas State, Thomas will get his first chance to play for the Pirates on Friday, Dec. 23 when they host Rutgers.
It was supposed to be just a one-year absence for the junior, a result of NCAA transfer rules. That was until Thomas reportedly choked a graduate assistant refereeing an intramural basketball game last February. The on-campus incident earned Thomas a fall semester suspension.
