Missouri Suspends Jaylen Carey for Basketball Opener, SEC Rules DePaul Transfer CJ Gunn Ineligible
Missouri opens without projected starter Jaylen Carey and transfer CJ Gunn after a team suspension and a Southeastern Conference eligibility ruling.
- On Monday, Missouri head coach Dennis Gates announced projected starter Jaylen Carey is suspended for violating team rules, while transfer CJ Gunn was ruled ineligible by the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers open against Cleveland State on Tuesday.
- When asked to elaborate on Carey's suspension, Gates replied: "Choose not to. I shared that one, and I usually don't share." Carey's availability for Friday's Saint Louis game remains unclear.
- Gunn's ineligibility stems from signing a professional contract with the Calgary Surge, where he received $524 for playing in three games in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Mizzou does not intend to appeal.
- Mark Mitchell, an All-SEC forward, remains eligible for Tuesday's game despite ongoing involvement in a lawsuit against the NCAA. Gates plans to play Mitchell while managing roster uncertainty.
- Gates emphasized maintaining team integrity amid high expectations for a heralded freshman class. "I have to still build the program while thinking of the risk," he said, referencing potential eligibility fluctuations.
