Former Kansas forward Carlton Bragg has decided to leave Arizona State’s basketball program, ESPN.com, 247sports.com and azcentral.com reported Sunday night.

Bragg, a 6-foot-9 forward from Cleveland, left KU after his sophomore season and chose Arizona State as a transfer destination last May. He chose the Sun Devils over Cincinnati and Illinois. Bragg left Arizona State’s team for personal reasons at the start of the 2017-18 season, one in which he could practice but not play in games according to NCAA rules.

He averaged 5.2 points and 4.1 rebounds a game in his sophomore season at KU. He was suspended a total of four games by coach Bill Self in his final campaign in Lawrence.

Bragg did not answer a text message seeking comment on Sunday night. Asked whether Bragg would transfer to a third school or turn pro, a source close to the situation said no determination had yet been made.
