In line to leave Arizona Kriisa entered the transfer portal Wednesday, Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kriisa is set to relocate from Arizona following his three-season stint with the program. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 9.9 points and paced the Pac-12 with 5.1 assists per game across 35 matchups played this past campaign, and he'll likely be one of the most desired prospects throughout the offseason.

Impact Head coach Tommy Lloyd revealed after Thursday's win that Kriisa is dealing with a shoulder contusion after exiting the game in the first half. The 6-3 junior returned with the team out of the locker room for the second half and got the start but certainly did not look completely comfortable when shooting. He'll certainly be limited scoring the ball, but it seems as though his injury won't be enough to keep him from playing Friday against the Sun Devils.
