Unlike Devonaire Doutrive, who remains suspended, the Arizona Wildcats expect to have freshman Zeke Nnaji available Wednesday when they open the regular season against NAU.
The 6-foot-11 forward missed Friday’s exhibition vs. Chico State with a minor ankle injury but returned to practice Sunday.
“Although he practiced yesterday he’s got to be able to string together a couple of days (of practice),” Arizona coach Sean Miller said Monday. “We’re being smart with him with the big picture ahead of us.”
Miller said Arizona doesn’t have an “iron-clad” starting five yet but added that Nnaji is “no question” a starter when healthy.
