SYRACUSE, NY — Syracuse has dismissed Benny Williams from its men's basketball program.
The school announced Williams' departure Tuesday without revealing the reason for the 6-foot-9 forward's dismissal. The statement announcing the decision said that “everyone involved in the program wishes Benny the best.”
Williams had been suspended for the first two games of Syracuse's season due to a violation of team rules.
He averaged 5.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 17 minutes in 18 games this season. Williams scored 7.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 22.3 minutes per game last season.
Syracuse (14-8, 5-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) hosts Louisville (7-15, 2-9) on Wednesday.
