Hurricanes' Chris Lykes now says he'll enter transfer portal

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami Hurricanes guard Chris Lykes has changed his mind and decided to enter the transfer portal, two days after coach Jim Larranaga said the senior guard was turning pro.

Lykes' 2020-21 season was limited to two games because of an ankle injury. He led Miami in scoring as a sophomore and junior.

“It was a tough year for me mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually,”

Lykes did not say why he changed his plans.

Larranaga's Hurricanes were riddled by injuries this season and went 10-17.
