Mata-Real on crutches

UCLA senior center Lorenzo Mata-Real attended tonight’s all-athletes get-together at Spaulding Field on crutches, with a large black boot on his right foot.

He apparently injured the foot – considered a minor sprain – during a pick-up game last night and it’s not considered serious. The boot will keep the foot immobile and hasten his recovery.

Basketball practice will start on Friday, October 12.
