Lamont Austin, an All-State player for Highland Park, has left the Missouri State basketball team for personal reasons, MSU coach Barry Hinson announced Thursday in a release.
The freshman guard broke his foot in practice Dec. 9, had surgery Dec. 14 and wasn't expected to play again this season after playing a total of 14 minutes in two of the Bears' first seven games. He had two rebounds and no points.
Hinson said Austin won't return to school for the spring semester.
"We gave him some academic parameters that he was not willing to meet," Hinson told the Springfield News-Leader.
