Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek has announced that sophomore guard Keala King has left the program.
King, who was one of three suspended Sun Devils this past week, had been the team's leading scorer.
Arizona State continues to have their expectations diminished as the squad is now 5-10 on the season with a 1-2 mark within the Pac 12.
The Sun Devils have currently lost five of their past six games.
The 6-foot-4 King had been the team's starting point guard this season due to the ineligibility of freshman star Jahii Carson. Prior to Sendek's announcement, King had been averaging 13.7 points and 3.3 assists per game.
Alongside King, fellow sophomore Kyle Cain and junior guard Chris Colvin had also been suspended this past week in the team's games against USC and UCLA. The future status of both Cain and Colvin remains up in the air, as their individual issues were not addressed by Sendek.
The three were suspended due to "unacceptable conduct."
Arizona State (5-10, 1-2) will play host to Oregon (11-4, 2-1) on Tuesday, Jan. 12. The game will tip at 10:30 p.m. EST.
