Arizona Wildcats point guard Justin Coleman is out of the starting lineup for Thursday’s Pac-12 opener against Colorado due to what is thought to be a shoulder injury he suffered in practice this week.
Brandon Williams will start in Coleman’s place. The freshman is averaging a team-best 3.8 assists per game, with a 2.4 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Redshirt junior Dylan Smith is starting in Williams’ usual two-guard spot. Coleman is in uniform and went through pregame warmups as usual, so it will be interesting to see what kind of role he has, if he has one at all.
