Virginia men’s basketball Coach Tony Bennett announced Friday that junior forward Evan Nolte and sophomore point guard London Perrantes have been suspended for the Cavaliers’ two preseason scrimmages and their season opener at James Madison next Friday after violating undisclosed team rules over the summer.

Nolte was arrested by Charlottesville police in August for being drunk in public. According to Virginia online court records, Nolte, 20, accepted a deferred disposition during a hearing last month in Charlottesville General District Court.

It’s unclear at this point why Perrantes is facing team discipline.

Both Nolte and Perrantes are expected to have prominent roles this season for Virginia, which is ranked ninth in the Associated Press preseason poll. They will be eligible to return to the lineup when the Cavaliers face Norfolk State on Nov. 16.

Perrantes emerged as Virginia’s starting point guard as a freshman last year, averaging 5.5 points and a team-high 3.8 assists per game. He began the preseason dealing with a foot injury, but had returned to practice by last week.

Nolte averaged just 2.8 points off the bench last year, but played his best basketball of the season during the Cavaliers’ run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.

Virginia faced Marquette in a closed scrimmage last Saturday and is scheduled to play at Georgetown in another closed scrimmage this weekend before beginning its regular season schedule.
