Eric Freeny - Taking leave of absence Freeny (undisclosed) isn't currently with the Bruins as he takes a leave of absence due to a medical issue, per Connor Morrissette of 247Sports.com.
Impact It's unclear what Freeny is dealing with, but there's reportedly a chance the guard doesn't play this season at all. Freeny spent last season with the Bruins, averaging 2.0 points and 1.6 rebounds off the bench across 11.0 minutes per game. His absence hurts UCLA's depth, but shouldn't impact their rotations all that much.

Filip Jovic - Dealing with concussion Jovic is dealing with a concussion during UCLA's preseason practices, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Jovic, who transferred to UCLA from Auburn this offseason, is expected to play a big role for the Bruins in 2026-27. Though he isn't expected to be a starter, the 6-8 forward who averaged 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds last season should still be a critical part of this UCLA frontcourt. He's currently not participating in practice, but he'll look to get healthy by the time the season tips off.
