Hoops quick hit

UCLA head coach Ben Howland said today that both senior point guard Lazeric Jones and freshman shooting guard Norman Powell suffered sprained left ankles in Moniday night’s practice and were receiving treatment today.

Howland said that both are in protective boots and are questionable for the team’s Pac-12 opener on Thursday at Stanford.

Former walk-on guard Kenny Jones, who received a scholarship this season, could see some major minutes. The Bruins would be down to just Jerime Anderson and Tyler Lamb in the backcourt if neither Jones nor Powell was available.
