After being suspended for a violation of team rules, Ball State men's basketball sophomore guard Zavier Turner has been reinstated by head coach James Whitford.

“Young people sometimes make mistakes, and you have to hold them accountable,” Whitford said in a statement. “Proper decision-making on and off the court is an integral part of our program. Zavier and all of our players have to hold themselves to a very high standard.”

Turner will play in Ball State's next game, a road contest against Eastern Illinois at 7 p.m. He missed the last two games, an overtime loss to IUPUI and a win over Grambling State.

“This has been a learning experience that has forced me to grow and mature,” Turner said. “I am thankful to have a second chance and the opportunity to rejoin my teammates.”
