UCLA senior guard Jerime Anderson has been suspended for the season opener on Nov. 11 after pleading guilty to two misdemeanor charges involving the theft of a laptop.
It was already announced that he would miss the Bruins' exhibition game against Cal State San Bernardino on Nov. 6.
Coach Ben Howland said Monday that Anderson has been ''very remorseful'' in admitting his mistake and accepting responsibility for his actions.
Anderson pleaded guilty last week to charges of appropriation of lost property and trespass. His attorney, Jon Artz, says the plea agreement was based on evidence demonstrating Anderson's good conduct and moral character from community members.
Anderson must complete 300 hours' community service in a two-year period to have the plea of appropriation of lost property withdrawn. The misdemeanor charge of trespass would stand. He was arrested on the UCLA campus on July 26.
