Dismissed Illinois guard Kendrick Nunn settles at Oakland
Dismissed Illinois guard Kendrick Nunn will finish his college career at Oakland, he confirmed to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein on Wednesday.
Nunn, who played three years for the Fighting Illini, was dismissed from the program near the end of May after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery. The charge stemmed from an incident with a woman.
On the court last season, Nunn was Illinois' second-leading scorer with 15.5 points per game. The 6-foot-3 guard also contributed five rebounds per contest and was one of the bright spots on a team that struggled to pick up wins.
Former Illinois guard Kendrick Nunn confirmed he is heading to Oakland, said the program sets him up best "for the next level."

Nunn will be forced to sit out the 2016-17 season, per NCAA transfer rules. He'll have one year of eligibility remaining when he returns.
