In Manhattan, Kansas, Arizona State’s top scorer, BJ Freeman, has parted ways with the program due to actions deemed harmful to the team, a team representative confirmed on Sunday. This decision comes in the wake of a tumultuous period for Freeman, marked by ejections from games against Colorado and Arizona during conference play, as well as a suspension for the team’s recent road defeat to Oklahoma State on February 9th.
Standing at 6 feet 6 inches tall, the senior player has been averaging 13.7 points across 25 games this season. His last appearance was in a 80-65 loss to No. 5 Houston, where Freeman contributed 17 points to the effort. The Sun Devils, with a current record of 12-14 overall and 3-12 in the Big 12 conference, are on a six-game losing streak leading up to their upcoming away game against Kansas State.
Initial reports of Freeman’s dismissal were first made public by The Arizona Republic.
