February 18, 2026 | Cowboy Basketball
A statement from Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Steve Lutz:
"Lefteris Mantzoukas has decided to withdraw from Oklahoma State University and will no longer be part of our basketball program as he focuses on his health.
Lefty has been a tremendous teammate and person during his time in Stillwater and will be deeply missed. While we are disappointed to see him step away, we understand this was not an easy decision for him and those close to him.
We fully support Lefteris and wish him nothing but the very best as he continues to prioritize his health and well-being."
