Nelson, a 6-foot-9 junior forward from Modesto, are in the process serving the second suspension this season when he met Friday and Howland after Nelson completed the final exam.
The second suspension this season have come because of the behavior of the ungodly. In what turned out to be the final game to UCLA last Saturday, 69-59 loss to Texas, Nelson spent the rest of the second half on the bench and was seen laughing and pointing to a small group of people in the crowd at the Sports Arena which is chanted his name near the end of the game.
Tuesday, a day after Nelson was delayed for a second time, Howland said there are things that defined Nelson needs to do to start practicing and playing again.
