After missing the last four games due to a bruised knee, UCLA Basketball Head Coach Steve Alford said that Thomas Welsh has been practicing for the last three days and will be available for the Bruins’ conference opener at Oregon on Wednesday night.
Welsh has suited up for the last few games, but has been kept on the bench, presumably to recover and heal. In his absence, junior Gyorgy Goloman and freshman Ike Anigbogu have filled in.
Fortunately for the Bruins, this season they have a lot of depth and talent on their roster and have been able to navigate through their non-confernce season without Welsh.
