IOWA college basketball star Jordan Bohannon was assaulted in the early hours of May 23 and sustained a serious head injury.
He had previously announced he would return to the Hawkeyes for his sixth season. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the NCAA granted eligibility relief to certain athletes.
Jordan Bohannon is a star guard for the University of Iowa who was attacked at a bar in May of 2021, according to ESPN.
Video shows a man punching the 6-foot-1 Bohannon, knocking him to the ground, ESPN reported.
An investigation is ongoing.
“Thankfully Jordan is recovering well after being attacked by an individual he did not see coming at him,” said Iowa coach Fran McCaffery.
“We were made aware of the incident immediately.
“We are grateful that friends who were with Jordan at the time kept the incident from escalating. His health is our No. 1 concern.”
Bohannon is Iowa’s career leader in assists (639), 3-pointers made (364), free-throw percentage (.887) and games played (143).
He ranks ninth in career scoring with 1,638 points.
