Georgia Tech suspends guard Chris Bolden for six games

Georgia Tech has suspended guard Chris Bolden for six games for an unspecified violation of the school’s student-athlete conduct policy.

Georgia Tech has suspended junior guard Chris Bolden six games for an unspecified violation of the school’s student-athlete conduct policy, the team announced on Thursday.

Bolden was held out of the Yellow Jackets' 63-52 win over Clemson on Monday night, meaning his suspension will extend through the team’s four remaining regular season games and Georgia Tech’s first game of the ACC tournament.

Bolden was previously suspended for the first three games of last season as well.

Head coach Brian Gregory said after Monday’s win that Bolden had not met the "high expectations” the team has for student-athletes.
