RALEIGH -- Sophomore forward Darius Hicks is set to transfer from the NC State basketball program and did not travel with the team to Brooklyn for the ACC Tournament, according to NC State officials.

"Darius has indicated his intentions to transfer from the program," NC State Senior Associate Athletics Director and Communications Fred Demarest said. "We wish him all the best. ... We will help him however possible."

The 6-foot-7, 230-pound forward played sparingly during the last two seasons as a freshman and sophomore, but was lost for the 2017-18 season after a torn ACL injury in November.

Hicks played a combined 166 minutes over two seasons for NC State, averaging 4.3 points and 3.0 rebounds this season in four games played before suffering the injury.

Hicks will finish out the spring semester at NC State, according to Wolfpack officials. His departure opens up another scholarship for NC State for next season.
