D.J. Funderburk Back Practicing with the Pack

Redshirt Junior Forward D.J. Funderburk was suspended indefinitely back on September for a violation of team policy. As a result, he was not allowed to practice with the team, or do anything basketball related with the program.

On September 25, Funderburk was involved in a parking incident on campus that is definitely a factor in his suspension, but there are more than likely other factors involved.

Head Men’s Basketball Coach Kevin Keatts shares with the media yesterday that Funderburk was back practicing with the team, but he wouldn’t reveal when he would return to gameplay.

“We’ve allowed DJ to be back in practice, so he’s practiced with us for a few days now. He will not play with us tomorrow. I don’t have a timeline. I couldn’t tell you guys when he’s going to return or when he will play in a game. I will say this, he’s starting to move towards the things that I’ve asked him to do and that’s why we allowed him to come back in to practice. But he will not dress out tomorrow night.”
