MILWAUKEE — Zaide Lowery is no longer part of Marquette’s team after starting the Golden Eagles’ first nine games of the season.
Marquette announced Sunday that the junior guard wouldn’t be returning to the team. The 6-foot-5 guard had averaged 8.1 points and 2.9 rebounds this season.
“I would like to thank Zaide for his many contributions to our program over the last two and a half years,” Marquette coach Shaka Smart said in a statement released by the school. “We wish him the best in all of his future pursuits on and off the court.”
