Utah Basketball announced that Forward/Center Marko Kovacevic will not return to the team for his senior season. A family emergency has arisen and Marko has chosen to return home to his native Serbia.
Marko was injured in the preseason last year and was never really able to be a factor.
The move leaves the Utes with one open scholarship.
