From NC State:
Former NC State men's basketball All-American TJ Warren will be honored in a pregame ceremony prior to the Pack's game Sunday against Wake Forest.
The game against the Demon Deacons is scheduled to start at 6 pm.
Warren's jersey will become a permanent fixture inside PNC Arena after a pregame ceremony that will feature a video tribute to his NC State career.
At NC State, he wore jersey No. 24, which was also worn by honored players Tommy Burleson, Tom Gugliotta, John Richter, and Julius Hodge.
Warren was a lottery selection of the Phoenix Suns in the 2014 NBA Draft following a stellar two-year career at NC State. He was just the third player in ACC history to finish the season leading the conference in scoring and field goal percentage on his way to collecting ACC Player of the Year honors from both coaches and media in 2014. His 24.9 points per game average that season is the fifth-highest single season mark in program history.
"I'm very proud to be honored along with all the other former great players in Wolfpack history," said Warren. "NC State is a very special place."
The Durham native averaged a career-best 19.6 points per game in the 2017-18 season for the Suns. This season, Warren is shooting a career-best 42.8 percent from three-point range and averaging 18.0 points per game.
