Iowa St.'s Lard leaving team after two seasons

AMES, Iowa -- Cameron Lard's career at Iowa State has come to an end after two up-and-down seasons with the Cyclones.

Iowa State announced on Tuesday that Lard, who recently finished his sophomore season, will be leaving the program.

Lard flourished after a redshirt season, averaging 12.6 points and 8.1 rebounds in 2017-18. But some off-court issues led Lard to enroll in a wellness center in the offseason. Lard was suspended for seven games to start this season and junior transfer Michael Jacobson earned Lard's starting spot.

The 6-foot-9 Louisiana native averaged 5.6 points and 2.8 rebounds off the bench in 2018-19.
