Pitts to play this season

Hopefully, this puts an end to the specultion:
[Arizona Coach Sean] Miller said it isn’t likely, after all, that freshman guard Elliott Pitts will redshirt this season, even though Pitts is not expected to be in the regular rotation and has missed a week with a sprained wrist.

Miller said Pitts will travel to San Diego State but still has yet to practice with “kind of a severe sprain.”

“He’s been out about seven days but has been working hard rehab-wise and I look for him to return back,” Miller said. “I don’t really at this point have an answer in terms of whether Elliott would redshirt or not but I think the odds of him redshirting are very slim to me. It’s leaning a lot towards his availability this year to where we can count on him.

“He’s practiced well and just looking at our team (and the possibility of) injury, foul trouble and (with) just continued competition and improvement, I can see where Elliott can be a real part of this.”
