Iverson’s knucklehead moves include him retweeting a tweet that called Memphis coach Josh Pastner a fraud. This came after he was suspended two games for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

Iverson, the cousin of former NBA star Allen Iverson, was a top recruit coming out of high school. He was averaging 4.6 points and 1.9 rebounds a game for Memphis this season. The school released a statement via head coach Josh Pastner regarding Iverson’s departure.

“Kuran and I visited and he will be transferring at the end of the spring semester,” said Pastner. “We thank Kuran for his contributions to the program and wish him well in his future academic and athletic endeavors.”
