Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith will miss the rest of the season after crashing his car and seriously injuring teammate Brian Carlwell this week. Illinois coach Bruce Weber said the following in a prepared statement:
"It has been mutually agreed upon between myself and Jamar Smith and his family, that he sit out the remainder of this season so that he can focus all of his attention on the physical, emotional, academic and other related issues he will face in the coming weeks. As I said Wednesday, this is a very difficult time for Jamar. Our coaches, players and program will continue to support him as he deals with this situation."
Smith has already been cited for a minor traffic violation but could face much more serious charges. He drove home after the crash and went into his apartment, leaving Carlwell in his car. Smith did not call police.
The Illini are mostly concerned about the health of Carlwell, who will most likely not play again this year even though he is making a swift recovery after being listed in critical condition as recently as Tuesday. But the loss of Smith, a reserve guard who averages 8.1 points per game, makes the Illini's already slim hopes of making the NCAA Tournament even more remote.
