Duke Suspends Grayson Allen Indefinitely After Tripping Incident

Duke has suspended junior guard Grayson Allen indefinitely after his latest tripping incident on Wednesday night.

Here’s Mike Krzyzewski’s statement.

“We have had the opportunity to thoroughly review the incident involving Grayson Allen from last night’s game against Elon. As I stated last night, the incident was unacceptable and inexcusable. He took an important step last night by apologizing in person to Steven Santa Ana and Coach Matt Matheny. As a program, we needed to take further steps regarding his actions that do not meet the standards of Duke Basketball. To that end, we have determined that Grayson will be suspended from competition for an indefinite amount of time.”
