Arizona senior wing Pelle Larsson will play Monday in the Wildcats' season opener against Morgan State.

Larsson has practiced only for the past few days because of an unspecified ankle injury, UA said, but is warming up to play Monday. Starters have not been posted yet but Larsson is expected to be a starter this season, if not right away while working himself back.

Arizona is opening the regular season Monday against Morgan State and then will travel Wednesday in advance of a game at Duke on Friday.
