After appearing in 14 games last season off the bench, sophomore Cam Christon is leaving the Boise State men’s basketball program.

A Boise State team spokesman confirmed the news on Monday.

The 6-foot-6 guard from Allen, Texas, suffered a broken nose that required surgery during October practices, and he has not played in any of the Broncos’ regular-season games this season.

Christon did log two minutes in the Broncos’ exhibition opener against Vanguard on Nov. 5, but he was not on the bench for Boise State’s 82-62 victory over Central Washington last Saturday.

As a freshman, Christon averaged 2.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 5.9 minutes in the 14 games he played in for Boise State in 2017-18. He scored a season-high eight points in his collegiate debut against Eastern Oregon (Nov. 10, 2017), and played a season-high 16 minutes against San Jose State where he had three points, three rebounds and four assists (Jan. 24, 2018).

Christon last appeared in a regular-season game for Boise State against Wyoming on March 3.
