Just days after LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill returned home from their extended stay in China due to their shoplifting arrest, UCLA has announced that the players have been suspended indefinitely.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to ESPN, as the school continues to review the situation, the players will not be able to play, suit up or travel with the team as part of their suspension.

“These are good men who have exercised an inexcusable lapse of judgment, and now they have to live with that,” team coach Steve Alford said.

The three players apologized on Wednesday for their decision. Ball, in particular, said, “This does not define who I am. My family raised me better than that.” According to reports, they also thanked Trump for his help.
