There were Internet reports Friday saying Arizona guardΒ Allonzo TrierΒ joined the Wildcats for their flight to Los Angeles, but no indication if he'll play Saturday against Gonzaga.
A UA spokesman declined to comment via text message on Trier's status and did not respond when asked to confirm if Trier was on the team flight.
If Trier did make the flight, that likely suggests he either has been cleared and will play Saturday or is just paying his own way to travel along.
Trier has missed six regular-season games and two exhibition games while awaiting NCAA word on his status. He did not travel with the Wildcats to Honolulu or Las Vegas last month.
On his Instagram page, Trier posted a photo of himself sitting on the bench Wednesday in the UA-Texas Southern game, saying "still all smiles, can't break me."
The Wildcats will have seven healthy and eligible scholarship players Saturday, but eight if Trier is able to play. Trier is the Wildcats' top returning scorer, having averaged 14.8 points per game as a freshman last season.
