West Virginia women’s basketball player Tynice Martin suspended indefinitely

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia women’s basketball player Tynice Martin is suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules, according to a WVU release Saturday afternoon.

Martin, a senior, has averaged 15.6 points per game in her career, as well as 5.8 rebounds. She was first team all-Big 12 last season after missing all of 2017-18 with a foot injury. As a sophomore, Martin was an all-American honorable mention and was the Big 12 Freshman of the Year in 2015-16.

Martin is supposed to be an important contributor heading into this season. The Mountaineers travel to Italy and Greece to play in three exhibition games beginning Aug. 7. A school official confirmed that Martin, who practiced with the team Thursday, will not be traveling with the team.
