Waco, Texas ? Former UCLA player J’mison Morgan has been granted an NCAA waiver that will allow him to play at Baylor immediately without sitting out a season.

Baylor coach Scott Drew said Monday that the 6-foot-10 junior center from Dallas will be eligible to play once he completes the necessary NCAA paperwork. Morgan is already enrolled in classes at Baylor and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Morgan was dismissed from UCLA’s team in March after being suspended a game for missing a team meeting and didn’t play in the Bruins’ two Pac-10 tournament games. He also missed seven games recovering from a partially torn quadriceps.
