Memphis dismisses Hasan Abdul Hakim from team and reinstates Zach Davis

Coach Penny Hardaway announced Wednesday that Memphis dismissed guard Hasan Abdul Hakim and reinstated senior Zach Davis to the basketball program.
Both players had been suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules since Feb. 13, and Penny Hardaway said the focus is on those committed to doing things the right way and working toward a championship.
Davis had a 23-point, 13-rebound double-double on Dec. 6 and has made eight starts for Memphis this season after transferring from South Carolina.
Memphis says Davis has rejoined and is traveling with the team for the Feb. 19 game at USF in Tampa, Florida, while supporting Abdul Hakim academically and with resources.
With six games left, Memphis is in a three-way tie for fourth, and removing Abdul Hakim marks a shift in Hardaway's approach to roster decisions.
