Greg Stiemsma put an end to speculation about his possible return to the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team this season when he issued a statement Wednesday saying he was academically ineligible to compete with the team this semester.
Stiemsma, a 6-foot-11 sophomore center, said in the statement that he was dealing with depression. He said that affected his grades and caused him to take a leave of absence from the team starting last Wednesday.
