GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Michael Jordan's nephew has transferred to North Carolina-Greensboro to play basketball.

UNC Greensboro coach Wes Miller on Tuesday announced the addition of Justin Jordan, saying he has enrolled at the school. He must sit out two semesters due to NCAA transfer rules and may begin playing after the Fall 2016 semester.

Jordan played 34 games during two seasons as a guard at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, averaging five points and 2.2 rebounds in 21 minutes.

The native of Davidson, North Carolina, is the son of Larry Jordan - the older brother of the Hall of Fame player and owner of the Charlotte Hornets. Larry Jordan is the Hornets' director of player personnel.
