(Reuters) - Rasheed Sulaimon, who in January became the first player ever dismissed from the Duke University basketball program by coach Mike Krzyzewski in his 35 years at the school, will play for the University of Maryland, school officials said on Monday.

A month after Sulaimon left the school, the Duke student newspaper reported that Sulaimon had been accused of sexual assault by two female students, who have never filed formal charges.

Sulaimon has denied the allegations and insisted his dismissal had nothing to do with them.
