LOS ANGELES (U-WIRE) -- T.J. Cummings has been ruled academically ineligible for the 2003 fall quarter, meaning the UCLA senior forward will miss at least the first three regular-season games.
"We expect our players to excel both in the classroom and on the basketball court," Bruin head coach Ben Howland said in a statement.
"T.J. knows what he has to do in the classroom to be eligible to play on the court. As a staff and team, we will support T.J. in his academic pursuits."
Last season, Cummings averaged 10.3 points per game and 4.9 rebounds in 29 games.
