ESPN is reporting that Ohio State basketball player E.J. Liddell said he’s planning to return to school for another basketball season.
According to ESPN, the power forward for the Buckeyes will withdraw from the 2021 NBA draft and will play for his junior year.
Liddell tweeted Saturday, saying "I'm back."
Liddell announced he was entering the 2021 NBA Draft in March.
ESPN is also reporting that the ability for college athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness played a role in his decision.
Liddell averaged 16.2 points and 6.7 rebounds a game this past season, earning him first-team All-Big Ten Conference honors.
