Like his old man, Illinois junior guard Jeff Jordan has decided to return to the team after leaving earlier in the year, according to a university release.
Jordan averaged 1.0 and 0.4 points per game last season as a sophomore.
“Jeff recently indicated his interest in coming back to the team,” coach Bruce Weber said. “After meeting with him and discussing the situation, we are pleased to give him this opportunity. He has obviously missed a great deal of time away from the program the last six months, and he has a lot of work ahead of him.
