After a season that was nearly injury-free (sans Prince Ali and Alex Olesinki), the UCLA Basketball have their two freshmen, Lonzo Ball and TJ Leaf,sustain injuries which could affect the way the team performs in next week’s NCAA Tournament.
Last week, TJ Leaf sprained his ankle five minutes into the game against Washington and sat out the rest of the contest. He also missed the next game against Washington State.
He returned this week for the Bruins’ win over USC in the Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals and played some good minutes with 29 total points in both games, but he was apparently not at 100%.
