An MRI on UCLA center J’mison Morgan’s swollen left knee came up negative, the team announced this afternoon.

The sophomore, hurt earlier this week, is expected to miss the next three or four practices while undergoing daily rehabilitation.

Morgan is one of six players battling injuries this week.
