.UCLAMBB's Amari Bailey, who missed the last seven games with discomfort in his left foot, is available to return Thursday against USC at the Galen Center, coach Mick Cronin said Wednesday.
The eighth-ranked Bruins went 6-1 in Bailey’s absence despite extended offensive lulls in several games. Bailey could compensate for several deficiencies with his superior passing and quickness. His ability to get to the basket can draw multiple defenders, giving him the option to find open teammates if he can’t find a shot to his liking.
Averaging 9.5 points and 3.3 rebounds while making 36.4% of his three-pointers, Bailey initially suffered his injury last month when Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe stepped on his foot. Bailey played in the next game, against UC Davis four days later, before aggravating the injury and missing the next month.
Should he move back into the starting lineup, Bailey’s return would allow senior guard David Singleton to resume his sixth-man role while bolstering a bench that has been badly outscored with Singleton starting. UCLA’s bench was outscored by its counterparts by a 10-4 margin against Arizona, 12-7 against Arizona State, 16-0 against Colorado and 22-5 in the first meeting against USC.No. 5 UCLA’s 14-game win streak ended with a 58-52 loss at No. 11 Arizona.
Missing all five shots, Singleton was part of a team-wide slump that doomed UCLA during a 58-52 loss to Arizona last weekend. The Bruins shot a season-low 31.3% while making four of 20 three-pointers .“Passing,” Cronin said earlier this week. “I always say this to you guys — passing is the key to good offense. Throw in some good screening as well.
