In a decisive move underscoring the University of Mississippi’s commitment to maintaining discipline and upholding team standards, head basketball coach Andy Kennedy has dismissed sophomore guard Dundrecous Nelson and freshman guard Jamal Jones from the Ole Miss Rebels. The dismissals, announced on Thursday, were due to undisclosed violations of team rules.
Nelson, who led the team with an average of 11.6 points per game, was reportedly arrested earlier in the week for possessing drug paraphernalia in his apartment. Jones had played in five games this season in a limited role.
Coach Kennedy’s decision reflects the program’s unwavering stance on player conduct, emphasizing that adherence to team rules is paramount, regardless of a player’s on-court contributions. This action serves as a reminder that the integrity of the team takes precedence over individual talent, reinforcing the values that the Ole Miss basketball program strives to uphold.
The Rebels, holding a 10-4 record, are set to begin Southeastern Conference play on the road against LSU this Saturday. The team will need to adjust to the absence of Nelson and Jones as they navigate the challenges of conference competition.
