UNLV Suspends Dwayne Morgan Indefinitely

Forward Dwayne Morgan has had some tough times since signing with the UNLV Rebels as a highly-touted recruit out of Baltimore. He struggled in his first two seasons and then considered a transfer after coach Dave Rice was fired. Then, last season, just as he seemed to getting into a groove, shoulder and hip problems ended his season after six games.

Now, Morgan has been suspended indefinitely.

The suspension comes after Morgan was involved with an altercation with a cab driver.

As the school gathers the facts and figure out what exactly happened, Morgan has been suspended from all basketball activities.

Morgan has one year left of eligibility but may get a second if the NCAA gives him a hardship waiver because of last year's injuries.
