Auburn's leading scorer Kareem Canty has been suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team, head coach Bruce Pearl announced Saturday.

"Kareem has had some strong moments for our team this season," Pearl said. "He has demonstrated that at the highest level of competition, he can win his matchup.

"However, his effort and attitude have been extremely inconsistent, which led to actions and behavior that are unacceptable. He will step away from the team for a while and may return later in the season. He is suspended indefinitely."

Canty is absent from the lineup for Saturday's matchup with Georgia.

Cinmeon Bowers will take over Canty's role as starting point guard for the time being.

The loss of Canty is costly for the Tigers, as he's averaging over 34 minutes per game, along with 18.3 points and 5.3 assists.
