According to tweets by ESPN.com’s Andy Katz and FOXSports.com’s Jeff Goodman, Boston College junior swingman Rakim Sanders will be out 2-4 weeks with a right ankle sprain.

UCLA’s Dragovic arrested and suspended
UCLA’s leading returning scorer from last season, forward Nikola Dragovic, was suspended for last night’s game against Cal State Bakersfield after his arrest for felony assault. The arrest stems from an incident last month at a concert in Hollywood. “This is an unfortunate situation for Nikola,” Coach Ben Howland said. “Our staff and players will do what we can to help him during this time. He made us aware of the incident when it occurred, but until this morning, we did not know charges would be filed.” Dragovic opened this season with five points and 14 rebounds in a loss to Cal State Fullerton.
Robertson out indefinitely with sore foot
California has lost back-to-back games in the 2K Sports Classic in New York, and much of it has to do with the absence of Theo Robertson. The senior forward has missed the past two games with a sore foot, and his return has yet to be determined. Seth Davis of SI.com reported on Twitter that Robertson could be out several weeks. Robertson was averaging 18.0 points per game prior to the injury.
Ebanks’ return undetermined
West Virginia sophomore forward Devin Ebanks has not played or practiced with the team since being suspended by head coach Bob Huggins prior to the season-opener against Loyola (Md.). When asked after that game, Huggins only said that Ebanks was out with “personal issues.” On Friday, Huggins claimed he was unsure of Ebanks’ timetable for a return. “I don’t know,” he said. Ebanks was expected to have a breakout season this year after averaging 10.5 points and 7.8 rebounds during his freshman campaign.
Hofstra’s Jenkins injured in win
According to the game recap on Hofstra’s website, junior guard Charles Jenkins left the Pride’s win over Farmingdale State with 6:20 left in the first half after landing hard on the floor. He did not play in the second half, but did return to the bench after going to the locker room. He had been averaging 21.7 points per game in the first three games of the season.
