The Legacy Classic, an HBCU basketball showcase put on by actor Michael B. Jordan, is having a late lineup change.

Hampton University has been forced to pull out of the Legacy Basketball Classic due to COVID-19 issues, first reported by HBCU Gameday. Hampton will be replaced by Delaware State.

Hampton University Director of Athletics Eugene Marshall, Jr. announced on Friday that the men’s basketball team will be pausing all activities due to a positive COVID-19 test among the team as they returned from Maryland.

“The men’s basketball program will now pause and follow Hampton University COVID-19 protocols,” he said. “The health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and those associated with the team are of the utmost importance.”

Hampton was slated to play North Carolina Central on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ

The Hampton University Marching Force is still scheduled to perform at the Invest QQQ Legacy Classic and at the Barclays Center on Saturday. Further updates will be announced as they are made available.

Completely agree and I was very concerned when I saw him run over to the ruckus.  It clearly never entered his mind if he would've gotten physically involved and did damage to his rehab.  But, I recall being a freshman athlete on the baseball team and there were lots of situations I found myself and teammates in.  Be smart young fella!

Well there you go...

I'm just glad we actually made the announcement before he did.

Just making official what we already knew.

Prayers for the young brotha! Hit the books, hit the weights, and focus on becoming a great teammate.

I was holding out hope.

Man I hope this is the real story and not a prelude to a transfer. I want to see his impact and would rather not find out by him being an opponent.

I want the Young Man to stay. He is a Trailblazer ( with NIL and breaking the trend to go to an HBCU), and That makes Him a natural Aggie. Hopefully this spring with Track, Football practice and the Vibe on the yard will help. Also idk about that Chris Paul League, but there are Ballers all over the State. I also know that the Chavis Park (I think) League runs at St Aug during the Summer too. I'm not sure about the Stackhouse League nowadays.
