Michigan guard Zavier Simpson was suspended for one game last month after he crashed the car that belonged to athletic director Warde Manuel’s wife, according to MLive.
Simpson was suspended for the Wolverines’ game against Nebraska on Jan. 28 for violating a team rule, but was reinstated for their next game days later against Rutgers. Per the report, Simpson crashed Manuel’s wife’s car into a pole and street sign around 3 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 26 — just hours after their two-point loss to Illinois.
He reportedly lied to officers about the incident, too, telling them initially that his name was Jeff Jackson Simpson and that he saw the crashed car while walking down the road.
