NASHVILLE -  LSU has cleared freshman Javonte Smart for Friday's game against the University of Florida in the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament.

Officials say Smart has "fully cooperated" and participated in a joint inquiry with LSU and the NCAA resulting from reports of wiretapped conversations purportedly involving head coach Will Wade.

Smart was held out of the regular season finale against Vanderbilt out of an "abundance of caution" in cooperation with the NCAA.
