The attorney representing UCLA freshman men's basketball player Shabazz Muhammad released a statement Wednesday on behalf of his client, who was declared ineligible by the NCAA for a violation of amateurism issues.
The statement read, in part:
"Shabazz has already been forced to miss a cultural and educational opportunity to travel with the UCLA basketball team to China before the start of the season. He has now been forced to miss two games with the UCLA team and is still being told that he is ineligible to participate.
