USC guard Chad Baker-Mazara is no longer on the team, the Trojans announced Sunday.
The 26-year-old graduate student, who’s averaging 18.5 points in 25 games this season, scored 14 points in 19 minutes in USC’s 82-67 defeat to Nebraska on Saturday. He’s been the Trojans’ leading scorer since starting guard Rodney Rice underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in December.
He appeared to head to the locker room during the second half of Saturday’s contest with an injury. Upon re-emerging, however, Baker-Mazara did not return to the USC bench and instead sat in an open courtside seat adjacent to the team.
