UCLA sophomore Jerime Anderson, expected to start at point guard for the Bruins this season, missed the team’s first official practice tonight because of a recurring groin injury.

It is a problem that hampered Anderson last season and through part of this summer.

A team spokesman said Anderson will continue to sit out through the weekend and early next week but is expected to return Wednesday.

He averaged 8.6 minutes last season but has moved into the starter’s role with the graduation of Darren Collison and Jrue Holiday‘s early departure for the NBA.
