Arizona Wildcats freshman point guard Alex Barcello will miss Saturday’s road game against the New Mexico Lobos with a left ankle sprain, reports Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star.
Pascoe reports Barcello injured his ankle in practice last week which limited his availability against the Alabama Crimson Tide. The freshman played just four minutes in that contest.
It is unclear when Barcello will return. Allonzo Trier will likely take over backup point guard duties in his stead.
In other news, Rawle Alkins will make his first start of the season Saturday, taking Brandon Randolph’s place at small forward.
