Florida basketball players Erik Murphy and Cody Larson have been suspended by Gators head coach Billy Donovan.
Murphy and Larson were arrested early Sunday morning outside Scarlett O'Hara's Bar and Restaurant in St. Augustine.
Donovan is continuing to gather facts about the incident but addressed the players' status on Monday morning.
“I'm aware of Cody and Erik's situation and very disappointed with the news,'' Donovan said. “The two are currently suspended from basketball-related activities. I'm not going to comment further until I have more information and get a chance to meet with both student-athletes.”
A sophomore forward, Murphy averaged 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds coming off the bench last season. Larson, also a forward, redshirted his freshman season.
