Marshall Henderson does not know when he will first be allowed to play basketball with Ole Miss and neither does his coach, but he is practicing with the team, the Associated Press reported.

Coach Andy Kennedy said the length of Henderson's suspension has yet to be determined, but called it "a fluid situation." The coach said he has confidence in his star guard to come back from the suspension incident-free.

"If I was a betting man - not that I am - but if I was a betting man, I would say that his lesson has been learned and he's looking forward to the opportunity to play in the SEC," Kennedy said Wednesday at Southeastern Conference media days.

The coach also said Henderson has done everything asked of him in terms of making his way back to getting reinstated to the Rebels.

"He's been tremendous in his approach and the way in which he's tried to help young guys," Kennedy said. "I've really found him to be more of a leader on the floor and take some responsibility not only for himself but for those around him... I've been pleased with the way he's responded."

That Marshall Henderson may seem like a far cry from the one who narrowly missed a serious drug charge in July. The school announced the suspension just before Oxford police confirmed they caught him in a traffic stop with a small amount of marijuana and cocaine. Henderson was cited for not having proof of insurance.

Despite not being arrested for drugs, Ole Miss still announced their guard would be suspended for a violation of team rules.

Known for his over-the-top behavior on the court and questionable decisions off, Henderson still lead the Rebels to their first NCAA tournament last year since 2002. He also lead the SEC in scoring at 20.1 points per game en route to a conference championship win for Ole Miss.

With the explosive play on the court come head-shakers like his "inappropriate gesture" following the Rebels' tournament game against LaSalle for which he was punished by the NCAA.
