Wednesday was senior night at the Coliseum, and though West Virginia has no seniors on the roster, the team did say farewell to one player.

Junior James Bolden wasn't with the team for the win over Iowa State and is no longer with the team, a source told 247Sports. He was absent from the bench for the second time since spraining his right ankle in the Jan. 26 loss at Tennessee in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. That was the last time he played for WVU. Bolden also wasn't with the Mountaineers for first game after that, which was the loss four days later at Iowa State, but that was only because he chose to stay on campus and get extra treatment in order to return as quickly as possible.

However, coach Bob Huggins said last Monday that Bolden was "probably" done for the season and that he had been brought back too quickly from his prior bout with injuries.

Narrowing down what injury is difficult when it comes to Bolden. He stretched ligaments -- Huggins later said they were torn ligaments -- in his left hand, which is his shooting hand, on the first day of practice and needed a protective wrap for a while after that. He wasn't able to practice much if at all, and then he missed the third-place game in the Myrtle Beach Invitational with an elbow injury. He'd later require KT tape for his right knee and then partially dislocate his left shoulder in a game.

Bolden, who missed his true freshman season in 2015-16 with a torn ACL, was also benched for a full game when he and Wes Harris showed up late for a shootaround the day of the win against Valparaiso. He and Huggins struggled to come together on a way to have Bolden play point guard. During one stretch of games, Bolden couldn't avoid foul trouble, and whether coincidence or not, Bolden didn't start the final three games he played in for the Mountaineers.

The Times West Virginian first reported Bolden's departure.

A native of Covington, Kentucky, Bolden started 15 of 82 games in his career and averaged 7.7 points per game while shooting 39.9 percent from 3-point range. He had a career-best 31 points in a home loss to Oklahoma State in January with 29 points coming in the second half. Bolden was the school's career leader in 3-point percentage before the start of the season, but Bolden was also known for taking charges on the defensive end.

Huggins said Tuesday Bolden will graduate after the season, which makes Bolden eligible to transfer, stay at the Division I level and play his final year next next season. He's the third player to be removed from the roster this season. Senior forward Esa Ahmad and Harris were dismissed from the team on Feb. 11 for a violation of athletic department policies.

With Bolden displaced, WVU now has 10 players on scholarship. Each is an underclassmen. The Mountaineers have two freshmen enrolling for next season, meaning Bolden's exit gives Huggins a scholarship to use to recruit an addition for the 2019-20 season.
