Mississippi State men’s basketball will be without one of its newest players for good.
Albany transfer guard Jamel Horton Jr. left the Bulldogs earlier this week and is no longer part of the program, a team spokesperson confirmed Saturday evening.
Horton did not make the trip to Athens for MSU’s game against Georgia on Wednesday, nor did he travel to Auburn on Saturday.
The Queens, New York, native, was averaging just 1.4 points and 1.4 assists per game in his first season with the Bulldogs.
Horton was playing only 12.3 minutes per game.
Mississippi State (12-4, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) tips off against Auburn at 7:30 p.m. Saturday from Neville Arena.
