Dusan Ristic injury: Arizona Wildcats center suffers left ankle sprain vs. Washington State

Another blow to the Wildcats’ depth on the Washington trip

With about five minutes remaining in the first half, Arizona Wildcats center Dusan Ristic came up lame, and was immediately taken out of the game.

He returned for a short stint before halftime, but then Chance Comanche started the second half in place of Ristic.

According to Arizona, Ristic suffered a left ankle sprain.

Dusan Ristic has a left ankle sprain and is questionable to return, UA spokesman Matt Ensor says.

The junior from Serbia has started every game for Arizona this year, and has only failed to reach double-figures in scoring just seven times prior to this contest. He is the team’s third-leading scorer, averaging 11.5 points per game. He is also second in rebounds, grabbing an average of six.

Arizona was also playing without Kadeem Allen on Thursday, who suffered a dislocated pinkie finger. This could leave Sean Miller and the Wildcats without two starters when they face the Washington Huskies on Saturday.
