Arizona center Chase Jeter out Thursday with back injury; USC’s Kevin Porter Jr. to return from suspension

Arizona Wildcats center Chase Jeter is out Thursday against the USC Trojans due to the back injury he suffered last Saturday against Oregon State.

The Wildcats’ announced starting lineup includes Ryan Luther at center and Dylan Smith at power forward, along with the usual backcourt of Brandon Williams, Justin Coleman, and Brandon Randolph.

UA coach Sean Miller said Wednesday that Jeter is progressing, but is still limited by the injury, which has been characterized as back spasms. Jeter did not practice Monday or Tuesday, before doing some light work Wednesday before the team left for Los Angeles.
