Shay Selby has been suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules, women’s basketball head coach Joanne P. McCallie announced Tuesday.
The senior guard has started in all five of the Blue Devils’ games so far this season, averaging 6.2 points and 3.0 assists per contest. The 5-foot-9 Cleveland, Ohio native and classmate Kathleen Scheer are the only two seniors on the Duke roster.
The move comes days after the team returned from the Freeport, Bahamas, where it suffered its first lost of the season to then-No. 4 Notre Dame, 56-54, in the championship game of the Junkanoo Jam. In the Blue Devils’ 97-31 semifinal win over Gardner-Webb, Selby had 11 points and five assists.
Selby played in all 34 of the Blue Devils’ games last season, starting ten. She shot 40.4 percent from beyond the arc, earning all-ACC Academic team honors.
No. 7 Duke will take the court without Selby Thursday night against No. 13 Purdue. The game will tip off at 7 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Stadium as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
