Impact Krivas matched a season high by ripping down 14 boards and recorded his first double double of the campaign. It wasn't the best shooting night for the junior big man, who took a season-high 16 shots but converted under 50-percent for just the second time this season. However, Krivas more than made up for it with his work on the glass, which included nine rebounds on the offensive end as the Wildcats rolled over Alabama. The big performance bumped his averages up to 10.2 points and 8.6 rebounds across 24.3 minutes per contest as he continues to split work underneath with Tobe Awaka.

Impact Krivas tallied a season-high 20 points while finishing one rebound shy of his second double double as Arizona cruised to the win. The junior big man saw 26 minutes of action, the fourth time in seven games he's topped 25 minutes, and took advantage by missing just one of his eight field-goal attempts in putting together his most productive top-to-bottom effort of the young season. Sunday's performance pushed his scoring average up to an even 10.0 points while adding 7.7 boards and 1.7 blocks for the undefeated Wildcats.

Controls interior in win Krivas finished with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 84-49 victory over Northern Arizona.

Impact Krivas put together his best effort of the season on both ends of the floor, contributing 12 points while ripping down five of his seven boards on the offensive end, then rejecting a career-best four shots on the other end of the floor. The 7-foot-2 junior center has started each of the first three games but is essentially splitting time with Tobe Awaka. Krivas is averaging 8.0 points, 6.3 boards and 2.3 blocks across 20.3 minutes through the young season and will look to stay healthy after playing in just eight games for the Wildcats last year.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in exhibition Krivas generated 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes of an 81-68 exhibition win over Saint Mary's.

The 7-foot-2 center averaged 7.9 points and 4.5 rebounds across 15.5 minutes per game last season. He's poised for a larger role in 2025-26, though he'll have to contend with Koa Peat and Tobe Awaka for minutes in the frontcourt.

Back to Arizona Krivas (lower leg) will return to Arizona for the 2025-26 season.

Impact Krivas will rejoin the Wildcats for the 2025-26 season after missing the majority of the 2024-25 season with a lower-leg injury. The 7-foot-2 sophomore appeared in eight games last season prior to his injury (one start), averaging 7.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 blocks on 15.5 minutes per game.

Impact Krivas has missed the last four matchups for Arizona as he tends to a lower leg injury and is now expected to undergo surgery which could force him to sit out the remainder of the year. The sophomore center averaged 7.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists on eight appearances (one start) during the 2024-25 campaign.

Impact Krivas' absence will leave the Wildcats lacking some depth in the frontcourt, potentially resulting in a minutes expansion for Tobe Awaka and Henri Veesaar. Krivas' status moving forward is unclear, so it will be worth keeping an eye out for updates ahead of Wednesday's contest versus Samford.

Retreats to the bench Krivas is not listed amongst Arizona's starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against Davidson.

Impact Krivas will shift back to the bench after starting in last Friday's game against Duke. The 7-foot-2 senior, who has averaged seven points, 5.5 rebounds and two assists on 15.3 minutes per game (four outings), will give way to usual starter Tobe Awaka.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Enters starting lineup Krivas produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes during Friday's 69-55 loss to Duke.

Impact Krivas continues to ramp up following an off-season ankle injury, starting his first game while seeing a season-high 21 minutes during Friday's loss. The 7'2" center from Lithuania has played in each game and this season and was expected to start from the jump but coach Tommy Lloyd has been taking things slow with Krivas, who appears to be nearing a full workload. He did not make a major statistical impact against Duke but is expected to be a key cog for Arizona as the season moves forward. Through four games, Krivas has averaged 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks across 15.3 minutes and is worth keeping an eye on as his minutes continue to increase.

Cleared for Monday's opener Krivus (ankle) has been cleared ahead of Monday's game versus Canisius, Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact Krivus, who has missed most of the season due to an ankle injury, has been cleared for Monday's opener. After playing exclusively off the bench last season, he is expected to have a bigger role for the Wildcats this season.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up Monday Krivus (ankle) is warming up ahead of Monday's game versus Canisius, Troy Hutchison of Rivals reports.

Impact Krivus, who missed much of the preseason with an ankle injury, is warming up ahead of Monday's season opener. While it does not guarantee his availability, it's certainly a positive sign. He played 36 games off the bench last season, averaging 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 12.2 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available Monday Krivas (ankle) could be available during Arizona's game Monday against Canisius, according to Brian J. Pedersen of SB Nation.

Impact Krivas potentially being available Monday but having no update early into the day further pushes the likelihood that he will be a game-time decision for Arizona's upcoming game. The big man is looking for a bigger role, and he will have at least some trouble establishing such if rendered unavailable for UA's regular-season opener.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Amping up activity Krivas (ankle) is amping up his physical activity day by day, according to Bruce Pascoe of Tucson.com.

Impact Krivas did not play during Arizona's exhibition game Monday against Point Loma. However, the big man amping up his physical activity and zero setbacks could be enough for him to participate in UA's season opener, currently scheduled for Nov. 4 against Canisius.
