RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) The NCAA has denied North Carolina State guard Terry Henderson's request for another year of eligibility.

Henderson announced the decision Friday in a statement issued by the school.

The Raleigh native played two seasons at West Virginia before transferring to N.C. State and redshirting in 2014-15. He played for only 7 minutes of the following season before suffering a season-ending ankle injury.

As a redshirt senior in 2016-17, he was the team's second-leading scorer at 13.8 points per game and made a team-best 78 3-pointers.

Henderson called it ''an honor and privilege'' to play in his hometown.
