Georgia Tech forward Abdoulaye Gueye has been suspended for the Yellow Jackets’ Wednesday night game against Duke. The suspension is for one game.

It stems from an improper benefits violation for receiving training this past summer that he did not pay for. He has since made restitution. Gueye is averaging 1.3 points per game and 11.4 minutes per game. Gueye was with the team and on the bench.
