JJ Taylor and Jonathan Pierre missed Saturday's Memphis basketball game against Vanderbilt for unspecified disciplinary reasons, an athletic department spokesperson told The Commercial Appeal Saturday.

Taylor, a 6-foot-8 freshman wing, and Pierre, a 6-9 junior wing, have played sparingly this season. Taylor has seen action in just three games; Pierre has played in seven.

Taylor signed with the 23rd-ranked Tigers in November 2022 and reported to the team in May. The four-star recruit is from San Ysidro, California, where he was high school teammates with fellow top-100 prospect Mikey Williams, who signed with the Tigers last year but has not joined the team.

Pierre came to Memphis from Division II Nova Southeastern, which he helped win a national championship last season.
