Wake Forest star Chris Paul was suspended by the school for one game Monday for hitting North Carolina State's Julius Hodge in the groin during a game Sunday.
Paul, a sophomore point guard, will miss Friday's Atlantic Coast Conference tournament quarterfinal game. The Demon Deacons, seeded second, will play the winner of Thursday's Florida State-N.C. State game.
Paul will be allowed to practice Tuesday, and could return to the lineup Saturday if Wake Forest advances to the tournament semifinals.
Athletics director Ron Wellman said school officials consulted with ACC commissioner John Swofford before announcing the suspension.
In a statement, Paul apologized to Hodge, N.C. State, his teammates and Wake Forest's fans.
