Edmond Sumner appears to have played his final game for Xavier.

The 6-foot-6 Musketeers guard announced Tuesday he will be declaring for the 2017 NBA Draft.

While Sumner didn't explicitly say he'll hire an agent, his message to fans seems to indicate he won't withdraw from the draft. Sumner will likely be a second-round pick, ESPN's Jeff Goodman notes.

The guard averaged 15 points and five assists for Xavier this season, but wasn't part of the team's Elite Eight run because of a torn ACL.
