David Singleton - Could return Friday Singleton (head) could practice for UCLA on Friday, per head coach Mick Cronin, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Singleton missed Thursday's game against Utah with a head injury that he sustained Saturday against Oregon State. Singleton has played in 13 games for the Bruins, contributing 5.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and one assist on 14.7 minutes per game this season. If Singleton is able to practice Friday, he could be a game-time decision for UCLA when they take on Colorado Saturday.

Jaylen Clark - Status for Saturday uncertain Coach Mick Cronin indicated after Thursday's game against Utah that Clark's status for Saturday versus Colorado is unclear, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Clark was ruled out Thursday due to an illness but hasn't been ruled out for Saturday, suggesting the issue may not be too serious. It will be worth monitoring to see how he progresses ahead of Saturday's tilt.

Johnny Juzang - Season-high 28 points Juzang supplied 28 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 63-58 win over Utah.

Impact Juzang was the main offensive provider for the Bruins in the narrow victory, accounting for a season-high 28 points while contributing from all areas of the court. The junior is really starting to heat up with three straight 20-point performances. Through five conference games, Juzang is averaging 19.8 points on 51 percent shooting.

David Singleton - Sits out Thursday Singleton (head) was inactive Thursday during UCLA's 63-58 win over Utah.

Impact Singleton was deemed unlikely to play after suffering a head injury earlier this week, and he didn't suit up for the Bruins' matchup with Utah. The 6-foot-4 guard has played in 13 games for UCLA this season, tallying 5.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and one assist on 14.7 minutes per game. Singleton, who missed the game in concussion protocol, is questionable to play Saturday against Colorado.

Jaime Jaquez - Starts in return Jaquez (ankle) ended Thursday's 63-58 victory over Utah with eight points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes.

Impact Jaquez started and played 35 minutes for the Bruins after missing their last game with an ankle injury. The 6-foot-7 forward has started all 13 games which he has been active for, putting up 12.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, two assists, and 1.1 steals on 28.7 minutes per game. It appears whatever issue was bothering Jaquez has passed as he returned to his normal role for UCLA on Thursday.

Impact Coach Mick Cronin said earlier in the day there was a chance Jaquez would practice fully Tuesday, and it appears the junior forward was able to do so. Jaquez averaged 13.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 28.3 minutes before missing Saturday's matchup with Oregon State. He appears on track to play Thursday at Utah.

Impact Singleton's status for Thursday's game against Utah is still up in the air at this point. A lot will obviously depend on what happens with this upcoming test. Singleton has been a nice option in the backcourt off the bench this season.

Jaime Jaquez - May be full-go in practice Tuesday Coach Mick Cronin said there's a chance that Jaquez (ankle) could be a full go in practice on Tuesday, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Jaquez missed the team's game over the weekend against Oregon State due to an ankle injury that he had played through in the previous two games. UCLA plays on Thursday against Utah so he should be considered questionable at this point.
