USC basketball will be without Rakym Felder indefinitely, Frank Martin announced Wednesday, and the sophomore guard won't be taking classes during the upcoming fall semester.
Felder, who was suspended on June 30, was arrested July 13 and charged with third degree assault and battery according to Richland County court records.
“Due to some unfortunate decisions by Rakym, he has been suspended indefinitely from our program,” Martin said in a statement. “I will continue to help Rakym grow as a young man even though basketball is not part of our relationship right now.”
Felder, who averaged 5.6 points per game as a freshman in 2016-17, was suspended last October for one game after an arrest for an incident in Five Points that initially resulted in six charges, including simple assault and battery and resisting arrest.
