Illinois men's basketball coach Bruce Weber announced Wednesday that sophomore Brian Carlwell has left the basketball team. Carlwell plans to remain in school and will transfer to another program after completing the spring semester.
Carlwell, a 6-11 center from Maywood, Ill. (Proviso East H.S.), played in just three games this year. He suffered a knee injury on Nov. 30, sidelining him for the majority of the season.
"Brian has faced adversity and dealt with injuries during much of his time here and feels it is in his best interest to get a fresh start next season," Weber said. "We appreciate the contribution he has made to our program and wish him the best, and we will support him in any we can regarding his future at another university."
