Yet another speculated deadline passed Friday when the suspendedΒ Allonzo TrierΒ did not return to the court for the Wildcats' first Pac-12 game.
While Jackson-Cartwright's return gave the Wildcats an eight-man rotation for the first time since the Texas Southern game, Trier sat on the bench in gray sweatpants and a white Arizona shirt.
The missed game total went to 14 for Trier, and neither UA nor the NCAA have been willing to comment on his absence.
Trier was cleared by the NCAA to travel with the Wildcats about a month ago, according to UA coach Sean Miller, and has traveled to Los Angeles, Houston and now the Bay Area with the Wildcats.
For those still in a speculating mood, the next popular prediction for Trier to return is Jan. 7 against Colorado. That game comes just beyond the halfway point of UA's regular season.
