UCLA announced Friday that freshmen Jalen Hill and Cody Riley would be suspended for the rest of the season for their roles in a shoplifting incident last month in China.
Hill and Riley will not be allowed to travel with the basketball team but can participate in team practices and meetings starting Tuesday. The school said its decision came in conjunction with the office of student conduct but offered no further details.
The freshmen have already missed 11 games as UCLA (8-3) prepares to play No. 7 Kentucky (9-1) on Saturday at the Smoothie King Center as part of the CBS Sports Classic.
