The father of Syracuse basketball star Billy Owens discounted a report that the forward will skip his senior season and enter the NBA draft.
“He’s definitely coming out,” NBC’s Pete Vecsey said on the network’s NBA pregame show.
Bill Owens Sr. told the Syracuse Post-Standard later Sunday: “I just got off the phone with Billy and as it stands now, Billy’s still returning to school and he has not said anything to me about leaving,”
If Owens is going to enter the June draft, he must declare his intention by May 12.
