BASKETBALL EXTRA: Gloger's future still unclear

Matt Barnes' knee looks OK after slight injury

By Christina Teller

Daily Bruin Senior Staff According to ESPN.com‚s Andy Katz on Friday, the epic of Spencer Gloger has not come to a close. Head coach Steve Lavin announced on Wednesday that Gloger was transferring back to Princeton, but Gloger has not withdrawn from classes at UCLA, according to the Registrar's Office. Gloger is also currently enrolled at Princeton. According to Katz, Gloger told Lavin that he might return to UCLA by the weekend and be at individual workouts on Monday. However, Gloger was nowhere to be found Monday at the Wooden Center. "I don't know nothing about Spencer Gloger,"senior forward Matt Barnes said. "I couldn't tell you where he's at. I have no idea." Also in the ESPN.com report, Gloger has informed Princeton coach John Thompson III that if he returns to Princeton, he would play basketball, even though he originally told Lavin he wanted to focus on academics and not play college basketball. Also in the ESPN.com report, one-time UCLA signee Michael Fey could receive Gloger's scholarship if he can make the SAT cut in the fall and if Gloger stays at Princeton. --------------------------------------------------- Barnes tweaked his knee in a pick-up game at the Wooden Center on Thursday, according to Associate Director of Sports Information Bill Bennett. Barnes had an MRI come back negative on Monday and still needs to meet with team doctors for rehab. Despite the injury, there does not seem to be any serious cause for concern. "They thought I tore my meniscus," Barnes said. "(The MRI) was fine. It was clean. So I'm just going to take a couple of days off and start playing on Wednesday."
