Forward Keefe injures shoulder, out 4-6 weeks
Earlier this week, Bruins forward James Keefe suffered a left shoulder injury that is expected to keep him out of action four to six weeks.
It’s the second shoulder injury in his time at UCLA for Keefe, who had to undergo surgery after tearing a labrum in the same shoulder in 2007, which forced him to miss the first 12 games of that season.
Keefe averaged just 3.0 points and 3.4 rebounds last season, but the Bruins are woefully think on the front line this year and are counting on him to play significant minutes. With the departure of center Alfred Aboya and sophomore forward Drew Gordon really the only proven frontcourt player, Keefe needs to get healthy and stay that way if UCLA wants to compete for a Pac-10 title again.
