While UA guard Kadeem Allen was seen limping during Thursday’s UA-Utah game, athletic trainer Justin Kokoskie said Friday he suffered only a right knee bruise and is fine.

Colorado forward Xavier Johnson, meanwhile, will play in Saturday’s game despite being tossed at ASU Thursday because of a flagrant 2 foul.

A Pac-12 spokesman told the Star on Friday that Johnson and ASU’s Jethro Tshisumpa were assessed the flagrant 2 fouls and ejected for “extreme contact,” but that neither was deemed to have participated in a fight, which carries an additional next-game suspension.
