The NBA Development League announced today that the contract of Dakota Wizards forward Awvee Storey has been terminated and that he has been dismissed for conduct detrimental to the League.

Storey punched teammate Martynas Andriuskevicius during practice on December 21st.

The punch landed Andriuskevicius in the hospital. He suffered a skull fracture, severe concussion and a two-centimeter hematoma on the left side of his brain.
