FEBRUARY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Still out Coach Mick Cronin indicated Tuesday that Hill (personal) remains out, 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Hill hasn't taken the floor since Feb. 6 and doesn't appear to have a timetable for his return to action at this juncture. It may be best to consider him sidelined indefinitely until updated information suggests otherwise.

Will not be available Thursday Hill (personal) will not be available for Thursday's game against Washington State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Status uncertain Hill's availability for Thursday's game against Washington State remains uncertain due to personal reasons, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact If Hill winds up being able to play, he could get the start at center, as Cody Riley missed UCLA's previous game with an ankle injury and isn't a lock to return Thursday. Hill also missed that game, however, and it's not clear when he'll be back on the court.
