FORT COLLINS — Guard J.D. Paige has been suspended by Colorado State for violating team rules, according to multiple sources. The team confirmed the suspension Saturday but did not specify how long Paige will be out.

The redshirt junior from Denver recently returned from a six-game absence after breaking his non-shooting hand in a game Jan. 24 at San Diego State. The Denver native has made 22 starts this season and leads the team in assists (2.5 apg), ranks second in minutes (31.3 mpg) and is third in scoring (10.4 ppg).

The Rams (11-18, 4-12 Mountain West) have lost nine of 10 entering Sunday’s game in Reno and will be down to eight scholarship players with reserve Robbie Berwick out with an injury.
