UA has declined to comment on guard Allonzo Trier’s status for nearly three months. But Miller responded Tuesday when asked at his news conference Tuesday about Trier’s demonstrative body language on the bench.
Although he’s suspended for games, Trier has practiced all season and was cleared by the NCAA to travel with the Wildcats about a month ago. He has been a consistent presence within the team.
“I wish I could talk more about Allonzo,” Miller said. “Hopefully in time I can but, I mean, the only thing you have to do is just watch him during the games to see how much he cares about winning, how bad he feels about not being able to play, and I think how much he really cares about Arizona and his teammates.
“He’s engaged and he’s been that way in practice. … He practices with great spirit and energy and competitiveness that’s helped our team as well, and we’ll see.”
