UCLA’s James Keefe injured his shoulder in practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday’s game against USC.

Keefe will not practice Saturday and Coach Ben Howland said if the senior is still in pain Sunday, then he will not play against the Trojans.

Keefe, who is averaging 2.2 points and 2.8 rebounds a game, injured his shoulder earlier this season and has been bothered by it since. Without him in the lineup, the Bruins’ inside game will be limited, as forward Reeves Nelson is recovering from a concussion. Nelson is expected to play, however.
