LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill returned to Los Angeles on Tuesday night a week after getting arrested for shoplifting in Hangzhou, China.
The trio touched down at LAX at around 5 p.m. PT and fought through a crowd of reporters to their car without answering questions. They will read statements to the media during a Wednesday press conference where they will be joined by head coach Steve Alford and athletic director Dan Guerrero.
Their status for Wednesday night’s home opener against Central Arkansas is unclear at this point.
