It appears that UCLA’s COVID issues are over, as the Bruins have returned to the practice court after having all team activities paused since Dec. 15.

Per the Pac-12’s recently changed administration policies, a team coming out of a COVID pause “shall have a minimum of two days to conduct full practices before resuming competition.
