We’ll never know what kind of impact Kim Aiken Jr. could have had on last year’s Arizona team, but we may eventually find out what caused him to abruptly step away from that squad midway through his one and only season with the Wildcats.
Aiken has entered the NCAA transfer portal, giving the graduate transfer a chance to play for another team after appearing in just seven games for the UA in 2021-22.
The 6-foot-7 Aiken played his first three seasons at Eastern Washington, where in 2020-21 he was the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year and helped the Eagles reach the NCAA Tournament.
