“Virginia Tech Justyn Mutts will be unavailable for Monday season opener vs. Delaware State.

Last season for the Hokies, Mutts led the team in steals (1.2), rebounds (7.4), and assists (3.4) per game. He was also the team’s second-best scorer behind Keve Aluma, averaging 10.1 points per game.
Not having their senior star on the court Monday will be a blow for Virginia Tech. But fortunately, it is just a one-game suspension, and he will be back on the court in the Hokies’ second game of the season.
