Sam Alajiki - Starting ThursdayAlajiki is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Colorado.

ImpactAlajiki will enter the starting lineup for the fifth time this season and the first since Dec. 21. The 6-7 sophomore is fresh off one of his best efforts of the season, after tallying 13 points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes off the bench last Saturday despite the team getting blown out 75-46 against Stanford. He should very busy again Thursday and figures to remain in the first five so long as Dejuan Clayton (undisclosed) is sidelined.

DeJuan Clayton - Unavailable ThursdayClayton is unavailable for Thursday's game against Colorado, Rob Hwang of Write for California reports.

ImpactClayton is inexplicably inactive for Thursday's action after he had played 32 minutes last Saturday versus Stanford. The 6-2 senior did sit out Jan. 22 but has started the last six games he's been active, while averaging 10.3 points and three assists in 31.8 minutes per contest during that span. With their top two guards out of action, the Bears will have no choice but to roll out a bigger starting lineup. Monty Bowser or Sam Alajiki are the leading candidates to step into the first five with Clayton out.

The Texas transfer averaged a team-leading 15.5 points to go along with 3.4 rebounds and three assists in 31.6 minutes per contest but had missed eight of the last 12 games before Thursday's season-ending injury announcement.
