Tyson Etienne pulls name out of NBA Draft, will return to WSU next season

Wichita State sophomore guard Tyson Etienne will opt out of the NBA Draft and return to WSU for next season, he announced Wednesday. This comes after Etienne entered the NBA Draft earlier this offseason.

Etienne had participated in pre-draft workouts with the Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns, Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks, prior to this decision.

Etienne had previously signed with Beyond Athlete Management, but maintained his collegiate eligibility throughout the process.

Etienne has stood out due to his work ethic since arriving at WSU as a freshman.
