MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia men's basketball coach Bob Huggins says point guard Darryl Bryant has been reinstated to the team.

The sophomore from Brooklyn, N.Y., was suspended in July for violating unspecified team rules. Huggins announced Bryant's reinstatement Friday.

Earlier this month, Bryant pleaded no contest in Monongalia County Magistrate Court to leaving the scene of an accident and failing to give information and render aid. Bryant was fined $200 plus court costs.

In Morgantown Municipal Court, Bryant pleaded no contest in August to failure to exercise due care in a June 21 incident in which his car struck a WVU student in front of a nightclub. The student wasn't seriously hurt. Bryant was assessed a total of $135 in fines and costs.
