PORTLAND, Ore. -- Florida forward Kevarrius Hayes was suspended for Thursday's 108-87 win against Stanford in the PK80 tournament due to a violation of team rules.
Hayes is averaging 6.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. At 6-foot-9, he would have helped the Gators contend against elite power forward Reid Travis, who netted a team-high 23 points in the Cardinal's loss.
Denver Parlar, a team spokesman, did not identify a reason for the suspension.
The Gators, coming off last year's Elite Eight appearance, are expected to compete for the SEC title this season.
