HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Chris Harrison-Docks is back on the court for Western Kentucky.

The redshirt junior guard played Sunday in the Hilltoppers’ Conference USA opener at Marshall after serving a two-game suspension “for not meeting expected team standards.”

Harrison-Docks was suspended Dec. 20 and missed nonconference victories over Detroit and Brescia.

WKU coach Ray Harper said Thursday that Harrison-Docks hadn’t returned to practice yet, but the guard was “close” to coming back.

Harper said after the Detroit victory that he’d sent Harrison-Docks home for Christmas, and that the guard had “to figure some things out” about being “selfless and not selfish.” He joined the team on the bench in street clothes Monday against Brescia.

Harrison-Docks is averaging 10.2 points, 2.4 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 11 games for the Hilltoppers this season.
