Arizona basketball: Xavier Johnson will not be suspended for Colorado’s game vs. Wildcats

On Thursday, Xavier Johnson was ejected from the Colorado Buffaloes’ one-point loss to the Arizona State Sun Devils for what appeared to be fighting.

This would have meant that he would have been suspended for Saturday’s contest against the Arizona Wildcats, but on Friday, the Pac-12 clarified Johnson’s ejection, and he will indeed play against Arizona.
