SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah basketball guard Alfonso Plummer announced he is leaving the Runnin’ Utes.
Plummer announced he will test the NBA Draft waters and enter the transfer portal.
“After several conversations with my coaches and family, I have decided to enter the 2021 NBA Draft ‘to test the waters’. I have also decided to enter the transfer portal to have more options if I return to play one more year of College,” Plummer wrote in a statement posted on Twitter.
