Arizona freshman Alex Barcello sat out Saturday’s game with a sprained left ankle, after he tried to play on it a week ago against Alabama.
Barcello hurt his left ankle in practice after the UA played Texas A&M on Dec. 5 in Phoenix. UA trainer Justin Kokoskie said the decision was made to sit him out this week.
UA coach Sean Miller and Kokoskie said they weren’t sure if Barcello would return Monday against North Dakota State or Jan. 21against UConn.
“We’ll just see how it progresses,” Kokoskie said.
Barcello joined injured walk-ons Kory Jones (torn ACL) and Matt Weyand (arthroscopic knee surgery) in gray sweats on the UA bench. Weyand, a scout team forward for the Wildcats, is expected back soon.
