Arizona freshman Kerr Kriisa expected to return to practice soon, but still awaits NCAA clearance

After completing a mandatory quarantine after returning from Estonia, Kerr Kriisa was on the Arizona Wildcats’ bench for the first time Wednesday, cheering on his teammates during the 85-60 win over Cal State Bakersfield.

The freshman should hit another important milestone in his return to the court later this week when head coach Sean Miller expects Kriisa to be cleared to practice.

As Miller later clarified, it is COVID protocol that Kriisa is expected to pass, not the NCAA’s clearinghouse that is evaluating Kriisa’s eligibility with no solution in sight.
