Chase Jeter has played his final minutes in McKale Center.

The Arizona Wildcats center has been suspended for the rest of the regular season for a violation of team rules, the UA announced 30 minutes before Thursday’s tilt vs. Washington State.

Jeter hasn’t been much of a factor lately anyway, totaling just 22 minutes since Jan. 12, the last game before he tweaked his back in practice. The fifth-year senior was a starter before then. He is averaging 6.8 points and 4.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes this season.

Max Hazzard is also out vs. Washington State due to personal reasons, the second game he has missed in the last two weeks.

It marks the third straight game Arizona has been without at least one player, not exactly peaking at the right time.

Josh Green missed both games against USC and UCLA last week due to a lower back injury, though he is playing Thursday.
