Aden Holloway will get another chance to play college basketball at Alabama.
The Canada-U.S. dual citizen, who played for the Canadian under-23 team at GLOBL JAM last year, is back with the Crimson Tide after being arrested for drug possession charges before the NCAA tournament last March, AL.com reported Tuesday.
The six-foot-one guard will be suspended for three exhibition games and the first two regular-season games.
Holloway faced two felony charges and two misdemeanour charges, but they have been dismissed after he completed a second-chance program.
Holloway averaged 16.8 points per game last season and shot 43.8 per cent from three-point range. He did not play for Alabama in the NCAA tournament. The Crimson Tide made it to the Sweet 16 before they lost to eventual champion Michigan.
“We were disappointed by the choices Aden made, but we have been encouraged by the way he has responded,” Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne told AL.com in a statement. “He has apologized, accepted responsibility for his actions, and taken meaningful steps to address his mistakes and move forward in a positive direction."
Holloway is the grandson of former Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers star Dave Raimey. He is a dual citizen through his mother.
