The UCLA basketball team is back at full strength after it was announced that suspended freshmen Cody Riley and Jalen Hill have been reinstated.

Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports broke the news this morning via Twitter. Both Hill and Riley were suspended for the season after taking part in a shoplifting spree during UCLA’s Pac-12 Goodwill Tour of China back in November.

Both players, along with former Bruin LiAngelo Ball, were suspended for the season after taking sunglasses and other goods from three high-end shops in Hangzhou, China. Riley and Hill remained on the team and took their punishment, but Ball has since left the team.
