Arizona Wildcats wing Josh Green will not play against the USC Trojans or UCLA Bruins this weekend due to a lower back injury, the program announced Thursday night.

The freshman is out with a sacroiliac joint sprain, likely related to the hard fall he took at the end of the Oregon game last Saturday.

Green, who is Arizona’s best perimeter defender and had been playing his best basketball of late, is averaging 11.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game this season.

Los Angeles natives Jemarl Baker Jr. or Max Hazzard will likely start in his place, though that is not official yet. This story will be updated when/if more information becomes available.
