Wednesday afternoon, sources told River Radio that Saluki junior forward Sekou Dembele is medically retired but remains with the program. The Mali native has struggled with lower body problems the past few years.
Later in the afternoon, Dembele responded to that report that he is not retired but “taking a break”
Taking a break not retired…
