Facilitation uptick continues Larsson supplied 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 100-81 victory over California.

Impact Larsson has been remarkably consistent as a scorer this season, hitting double-digits in all but one contest en route to 12.6 points per game this season. He's averaging 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 35.5 minutes across his last four games. Posting 12-for-22 shooting from beyond the arc this season is an unsustainable clip, but his immense success on limited volume could spur additional shots. Larsson has also logged at least five assists in four of his past six contests, displaying strong chemistry with Oumar Ballo.

DNP again Larsson (undisclosed) did not play during Arizona's exhibition game Monday against New Mexico Highlands.

Impact Larsson sat out both of Arizona's exhibition games played during 2023. Once again, Jaden Bradley started in Larsson's place. Now, Larsson has no more tuneup opportunities, as the earliest game he can play is Arizona's season opener against Morgan State on Nov. 6.

Absent from exhibition Larsson did not play in an Oct. 20 exhibition against Lewis and Clark due to an undisclosed injury, Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact The nature of the injury was not specified, though it's certainly possible the team is just being overly cautious due to the low-stakes nature of the contest. Larsson is seemingly a frontrunner for a starting role this year after averaging 9.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists, despite losing his starting gig down the stretch last year. Jaden Bradley got the start in Larsson's absence, but only attempted two shots in 19 minutes on the court, so regardless of who starts, Larsson may be the more impactful fantasy asset. He has to prove he's healthy first, however, and fortunately has a chance to do that with another exhibition game against New Mexico Highlands scheduled for Monday.
