Basketball Player Kewan Platt Has Been Suspended For Elbowing An Opponent In The Face
College basketball star Kewan Platt has been banned for an off-the-court incident in which he severely elbowed an opponent in the face.
Platt struck Nate Tenaglia in the head after the loss after the latter sank three seemingly an eternity after the play.
After knocking down the open jump shot, Platt charged at Tenaglia and sped up as he clattered into him in a petty, irritating moment.
Platt then casually ran away as teammates dashed up to Tenaglia to check on him during a D-III match in the United States between Nichols College and Fitchburg State.

The Fitchburg State junior issued a message on his private Instagram account on Thursday afternoon, professing "deep regret" for slaying Tenaglia with an intentional elbow to the face.
