Florida State men’s basketball will be down a player. In less than an hour before tipoff of the Alabama State game, the team announced that sophomore forward AJ Swinton is suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.
Swinton, along with Alier Maluk, were among two Seminoles from last season who chose to return for their sophomore season to play for head coach Luke Loucks. Swinton played in the season opener against Alcorn State for nine minutes, where he recorded three rebounds and a block.

Last season, Swinton played in 28 of the 32 games and started one as a true freshman. While he averaged only 2.8 points per game, he has shown flashes of athleticism, making him a valuable contributor off the bench.
FSU looks to get off to a 2-0 start as it takes on Alabama State.
