ARIZONA WILDCATS NEWS

Paces Wildcats in rout Love contributed 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 93-64 victory over Canisius.

Impact Love needed only 21 minutes to fill up the stat sheet during Monday's cruise-control victory, leading the team in scoring and assists. The reigning Pac 12 player of the year returns for one more season with the Wildcats, looking to improve on last year's numbers while embarking on a new challenge in the loaded Big 12.

Inactive Monday Stephen (undisclosed) is not dressed ahead of Monday's opener against Canisius, Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact Stephen, a likely redshirt candidate during the 2024-25 season, has been spotted in street clothes ahead of Monday's opener against Canisius. The 7-foot freshman, a top-150 prospect in the class of 2024, appears likely to preserve his eligibility this season.

Cleared for Monday's opener Krivus (ankle) has been cleared ahead of Monday's game versus Canisius, Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact Krivus, who has missed most of the season due to an ankle injury, has been cleared for Monday's opener. After playing exclusively off the bench last season, he is expected to have a bigger role for the Wildcats this season.

Warming up Monday Krivus (ankle) is warming up ahead of Monday's game versus Canisius, Troy Hutchison of Rivals reports.

Impact Krivus, who missed much of the preseason with an ankle injury, is warming up ahead of Monday's season opener. While it does not guarantee his availability, it's certainly a positive sign. He played 36 games off the bench last season, averaging 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 12.2 minutes per game.

Could be available Monday Krivas (ankle) could be available during Arizona's game Monday against Canisius, according to Brian J. Pedersen of SB Nation.

Impact Krivas potentially being available Monday but having no update early into the day further pushes the likelihood that he will be a game-time decision for Arizona's upcoming game. The big man is looking for a bigger role, and he will have at least some trouble establishing such if rendered unavailable for UA's regular-season opener.

Promising during exhibition Lewis logged 15 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, three steals and two assists across his 22 minutes during Arizona's exhibition game against Point Loma.

Impact Before the preseason, it was unknown what kind of a role Lewis would have with the 2024-25 Wildcats. And while not for certain, it is likely Lewis starts for them, especially after how well he played during their exhibition game. Offensive and defensive excellence is nothing to sneeze at and has likely ensured him a prominent role for this year's Wildcats.

Excels during exhibition game Townsend logged 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across his 24 minutes during Arizona's exhibition game against Point Lom...

Impact Ideally for Arizona, Townsend's output against Point Loma is a sign of what will come during his 2024-25 season. Scoring and rebounding are expected, considering he averaged more than 15 points and five rebounds during his junior and senior seasons. But if Townsend can excel more defensively, he can easily be one of college basketball's best players this season.

Could redshirt 2024-25 season Stephen could redshirt Arizona's 2024-25 season, according to Bruce Pascoe of Tucson.com.

Impact Stephen is a center who could begin his collegiate career during Arizona's 2024-25 season. However, the Wildcats having Motiejus Krivas (7-foot-2, 260 pounds) and Tobe Awaka (6-foot-8, 250 pounds) available at center indicate Stephen may be better off redshirting this season.

Amping up activity Krivas (ankle) is amping up his physical activity day by day, according to Bruce Pascoe of Tucson.com.

Impact Krivas did not play during Arizona's exhibition game Monday against Point Loma. However, the big man amping up his physical activity and zero setbacks could be enough for him to participate in UA's season opener, currently scheduled for Nov. 4 against Canisius.

Not ready for full practices Krivas is not ready for full practices due to an ankle injury, per Michael Lev of The Arizona Daily Star.

Impact Krivas not being ready for full practices explains why he sat out Arizona's exhibition game Monday against Eastern New Mexico. On the plus side, he is close to being game-ready, indicating his current absence is not expected to be long. That does not perfectly clear his injury status going into Arizona's next exhibition, currently scheduled for next Monday against Point Loma.

Participates in team scrimmage Veesaar (elbow) logged seven points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two blocks, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Arizona's team scrimmage Friday.

Impact Veesaar participating in Arizona's team scrimmage indicates his previously dislocated elbow is healed and that he can play for the Wildcats again. He has not played since March 2023, sitting out and redshirting U of A's 2023-24 season. Veesaar averaged 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds across his 29 games for the 2022-23 Wildcats.

Candidate for breakout Krivas is a breakout candidate for the NCAA's 2024-25 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Oumar Ballo transferred to Indiana, resulting in Arizona's center position without a proven starter. The team not receiving a big commitment in that position will leave Krivas to step up. Last season, he played more than 15 minutes 10 times, averaging 10.6 points and 6.0 rebounds while shooting 66.1 percent from the field.

Back at Arizona Weitman is part of Arizona's 2024-25 roster.

Impact Weitman will look to finish his collegiate career with Arizona, whose basketball program has already had him for four seasons. They included the redshirt senior averaging less than three minutes per campaign, so him being a depth piece for UA's 2024-25 team should not be surprising.
