Syracuse forward Benny Williams has returned to all team activities after being suspended for a violation for team rules last week, the program announced on social media Friday.

Williams had been suspended on Nov. 1 and missed the Orange’s exhibition game against the College of St. Rose and their two regular-season wins over New Hampshire and Canisius to start the year. The reason for Williams’ suspension is unknown and head coach Adrian Autry had declined multiple times to offer an update on the situation in postgame press conferences.

Williams enters his third season with the Orange and scored 11 points and six rebounds in the team’s first exhibition of the season against Daemen on Oct. 27. On Tuesday, Syracuse hosts Colgate, who has defeated the Orange for the past two seasons in the Dome.
