There is a possibility that USF men’s basketball forward Chris Perry could rejoin the team tonight when the Bulls take on East Carolina.
There is no official word of the junior’s return yet, but Perry made the trip to Greenville, NC., and participated in practice, including this morning’s shootaround.
Perry was suspended on Jan. 23 for an unspecified reason and USF has gone 2-4 without its third-leading scorer.
Perry is averaging 9.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game this season.
If Perry returns against the Pirates, it would be the first time USF would have eight scholarship players on the floor since his suspension began.
USF takes on East Carolina tonight at 7 on ESPN3.
