Penn State guard inactive due to ‘personal matters’:
It’s an all too familiar scene for the Penn State men’s basketball team.
Last season, four players left the Penn State program for different reasons. Brandon Cameron and DeForrest Riley-Smith transferred in the middle of the season. During the offseason, Jan Jagla opted to play professionally in Europe and Robert Summers transferred.
Now, sophomore guard Ben Luber has asked to become an inactive member of the Nittany Lions basketball team. A release from Penn State sports information stated that Luber ‘has decided to concentrate on some personal matters that are more important than basketball at this time.’
‘Luber will continue to be involved in all the team’s activities and will attend practices and games,’ the release said. ‘His active playing status will be re-evaluated on a daily basis.’
