Illinois junior Jeff Jordan announced his return to the Illini basketball team last month, but following an NCAA ruling Tuesday, it will be another two games before he finally suits up for Bruce Weber's team.Jordan, the oldest son of former NBA great Michael Jordan, quit the team in June, but decided to return in October. During a compliance investigation, the NCAA found that he participated in an non-sanctioned basketball tournament and was ruled ineligible for the first two games. Weber said he believed the event was a 3-on-3 tournament.
Jordan, a reserve guard, averaged one point and one assist per game last season for the Illini. He earned a scholarship before his sophomore season after originally enrolling as a preferred walk-on as a freshman.
He handed out four assists in 19 minutes of action in Illinois' exhibition victory over Quincy Sunday.
Jordan is at least in good company. Jordan will join Duke's Nolan Smith, Kentucky's John Wall, and Indiana State's Dwayne Lathan on the pine to start the season. Each of the four players have been ruled out for two games. Smith and Lathan, like Jordan, were both found to have participated in non-sanctioned summer tournaments.
The 23rd-ranked Illiini aren't likely to need his services during his suspension. Illinois opens with SIU-Edwardsville Friday, followed by Northern Illinois Tuesday.
