Louisville Reinstates Guard Chris Jones

Louisville has reinstated senior guard Chris Jones.

Louisville basketball spokesman Kenny Klein said an email that “Coach [Rick] Pitino said Chris has done what he needed to do to address his off-the-court issues.”

The 5-foot-10 Jones was suspended for a violation of team rules and missed Wednesday’s loss to Syracuse. Freshman Quentin Snider scored 13 points in place of Jones, who is averaging 13.6 points and 3.7 assists.
