Availability unlikely for Tuesday Etienne (illness) is not expected to be available for the Blue Demons' game Tuesday against IPFW, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Etienne has been dealing with a physical illness since Thursday at the latest. Should he sit out, the Blue Demons are expected to split minutes at center between Da'Sean Nelson, Jeremiah Oden and Churchill Abass.

Two points, six rebounds in win Etienne ended Saturday's 82-73 victory over Arizona with two points (1-1 FG), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 11 minutes.

Impact Etienne appeared in Saturday's win over Arizona, logging two points and six rebounds for the Bruins. The 6-foot-10 freshman has appeared in 26 games this season, averaging one point, two rebounds and 0.4 blocks on 6.3 minutes per game.

Four rebounds in win Etienne accumulated four rebounds in 14 minutes during Saturday's 70-63 win over Oregon.

Impact Etienne tallied four rebounds across 14 minutes during Saturday's win over Oregon. The 6-foot-10 freshman has appeared in 20 games this season, logging one point, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 blocks on 5.7 minutes per game for the Bruins.

High-volume bench role in return Etienne (knee) notched two points (1-9 FG), seven rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 15 minutes during Monday's 76-50 win over Sacramento State.

Impact It was far from an efficient showing for Etienne, though he did get a solid volume of shots up and played the second-most minutes of any UCLA reserve. The 6-10 center spent much of the offseason recovering from a knee injury but now appears to be fully cleared and ready to provide post depth. One question is whether this type of minutes total will continue when five-star freshman center Adem Bona -- who sat Monday with an undisclosed injury -- returns to the court.

Practicing ahead of season opener UCLA coach Mick Cronin said that Etienne (knee) was a participant in "live practice" Monday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Etienne suffered a season-ending torn ACL last November, and he appears to be progressing well heading into next Monday's season opener against Sacramento State. The 6-foot-10 big man averaged 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game over 13 contests in the 2020-21 season. Expect Etienne to play a reserve role in the Bruins' frontcourt when healthy.

Out for season with torn ACL Etienne (knee) is out for the season with a torn ACL, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The second-year big man underwent surgery Tuesday and his season is now over. Without Etienne, Cody Riley, Myles Johnson and Kenneth Nwuba check in as UCLA's top options at center, though Riley is currently dealing with a knee issue of his own.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Potentially out for season Head coach Mick Cronin said that Etienne suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact There is some additional testing that the team still needs to do before they can consider it official that Etienne is out for the season. Etienne was not expected to take on a significant role this season, but if UCLA has any other frontcourt injuries their depth may be challenged.

NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

No timetable for return from injury Head coach Mick Cronin said that Etienne suffered an injury and has no timetable for return, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Coach Cronin didn't give us much to work with here, but it sounds like it may be a stretch to expect Etienne to play in the season-opener next week. This injury will test the depth of the UCLA frontcourt early in the season.

Starting Saturday Etienne is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against USC.

Impact Etienne will enter the starting five in place of Johnny Juzang after he was ruled as a game-time decision because he tweaked his ankle in Friday's practice.

Logs 27 minutes in UCLA debut Etienne had eight points (4-5 FG, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 66-48 loss to USC.

Impact The UCLA frontcourt has been devastated by injuries of late, as pro prospect Chris Smith is out for the year with a torn ACL, while Jalen Hill (personal) and Cody Riley (ankle) were also unavailable for this contest. While it was Kenneth Nwuba who got the start, Etienne was the more effective fantasy player in what was his season debut for the Bruins. The 19-year-old is an early enrollee with the Bruins after the pandemic cancelled his prep season in New Hampshire, and with the NCAA not counting this season for eligibility purposes, UCLA has nothing to lose by getting him in the mix early. According to the report, Etienne could even draw the start Thursday against Washington if Riley is again unable to go, but it seems like minutes will be there for him regardless of Riley's health.
