Gadzuric Leaves Practice Early

Center Dan Gadzuric went through a few drills in practice Tuesday before taking himself out because he felt ill. He also has some lingering soreness in his right hand, a result of slapping the backboard while trying to block a shot in the Hawaii game.

Guard Todd Ramasar missed practice so he could undergo a precautionary MRI exam on his right shoulder. Ramasar was injured in practice last week but has informed team officials he’s feeling better by the day.

Rico Hines and Josiah Johnson, both nursing injuries, are expected to participate in low-impact drills today for the first time since getting hurt. Hines is recuperating from a Nov. 1 surgery on his right knee; Johnson has a stress fracture in his left foot.
