"Josh went to Las Vegas with our permission to work out a few days to get a feel for where he’d potentially be (in 2011 NBA Draft). It’s something we did not discourage. We are fine with it," Self said.

"He has not declared (for draft) nor is he committed to an agent. We said he could have a few days to get a better feel for where he is by working out with some folks in Vegas.

"As far as schoolwork, he is OK there. He has put himself in a position he could afford to miss a few days. He will need to get back by next week," Self added.
