Illinois senior guard Kendrick Nunn pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor battery on Wednesday.
Nunn, a Chicago native and Simeon High School product, was arrested on charges of domestic battery in March and originally faced two counts of domestic battery, though those were dropped in favor of the lone simple battery count.
As a result of the plea, Nunn was sentenced to 18 months of court supervision, 100 hours of community service, enrollment in a partner abuse intervention program, a written letter of apology and a $200 fine. If he does all those things, he will not receive a conviction. All those details from Mary Schenk of the Champaign News-Gazette.

Nunn was one of three Illinois players arrested earlier this year and facing unresolved legal situations heading into the offseason. Junior forward Leron Black was arrested in February after pulling a knife on a nightclub bouncer, and senior guard Jaylon Tate was arrested on charges of domestic battery in March unrelated to Nunn.
All three began the offseason serving indefinite suspensions.
Black's situation was resolved after he pleaded guilty last month to a misdemeanor version of his original charge and entered a second-chance program, completing 20 hours of public service and paying a $200 fine in addition to receiving a sentence of 12 months of conditional discharge. Black's indefinite suspension ended, and he was reinstated by head coach John Groce. Though a new suspension was levied, and Black will sit out two exhibition games and four regular-season games at the start of the 2016-17 season.
The futures of Nunn and Tate remain a mystery. Both remain suspended indefinitely, and there likely won't be any movement in Tate's status until his situation is resolved. Though a decision on Nunn could come soon from Groce, given that Nunn's legal situation has concluded.
