Sidiki Johnson to Transfer

Following his suspension two weeks ago, Sidiki Johnson will transfer from Arizona.

The 6-foot-8, 235-pound Bronx native was averaging 0.3 points and 0.7 rebounds in three games this season.

Johnson remained in New York after Arizona lost to Mississippi State in the 2K Sports Classic championship Nov. 18. Arizona coach Sean Miller said then it was the coaches’ decision to let him stay home because he violated team rules.

“Sidiki Johnson is someone from a physical perspective — rebounding, giving us quality minutes, developing as our season grows — who we were really counting on to complement the big guys that we already have,” Miller said last weekend. “Him not being with us is not a positive.”

Johnson originally chose Arizona over Providence, Virginia Tech, St. John’s and others.
