Bruins Back From Ailments: Jordan Farmar came back Sunday night with 16 points and 10 assists to lead UCLA to a 69-57 win over Coppin State. Farmar originally injured his ankle on Nov. 17th against Temple and then sat out the next game against Delaware State. The next week, he played both games in New York in the Preseason NIT but his ankle began to ache. Farmar then missed the Bruin’s next game against Albany last Tuesday before his return Sunday night. Initially, the injury was diagnosed as a stress fracture but was downgraded to a sprain after pursuing other opinions.
Alfred Aboya also saw his first action of the season Sunday night. The 6-foot-8 freshman had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee last July and had been cleared to practice earlier in the week. Still pretty raw, Aboya had no points and two rebounds in 16 minutes in his UCLA debut. [12/05/05]
