The Ball State men's basketball team will be without its starting point guard indefinitely, as sophomore Zavier Turner has been suspended for a violation of team rules. 

"We are committed to high standards, and there are consequences for poor judgement," head coach James Whitford said in a statement. "We place a high emphasis on the culture within our program, and we strive to develop players both on and off the court."

Turner started the first two games of the season, averaging 12.5 points and three assists as the Ball State lost to Utah and defeated IU Kokomo. Turner was named the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year last season, after averaging 12.1 points and 3.7 assists a game. 

Without Turner, Ball State fell 71-69 in overtime at IUPUI on Saturday.
