Per Duke’s Sports Information, junior guard Rasheed Sulaimon has been dismissed from the program after ‘failing to meet necessary obligations’.
“Rasheed has been unable to consistently live up to the standards required to be a member of our program,” said Krzyzewski. “It is a privilege to represent Duke University and with that privilege comes the responsibility to conduct oneself in a certain manner. After Rasheed repeatedly struggled to meet the necessary obligations, it became apparent that it was time to dismiss him from the program.”
