Leading-Scorer Robinson Is Questionable

Wendell Robinson, UC Irvine’s leading scorer, is questionable for the Anteaters’ game against USC Sunday because of a sprained foot.

Robinson, a 6-foot-8 junior forward, is averaging 14.5 points and 7.3 rebounds. He was injured during a running drill in practice Tuesday.

The Anteaters (0-4) are already without starting forward Brian Johnson, who has missed one game because of a sprained toe on his right foot. Johnson, a 6-6 freshman, is expected to be out at least one more week.

If Robinson cannot play, the Anteaters will start either freshman Andrew Carlson or senior Dan Augulis. Augulis, a 6-10 center, is available for Sunday’s game after missing the Anteaters’ first four games because of a knee injury. He started 22 games and averaged 2.1 points last season.

Senior guard Ken Simpson, who has been out with a knee injury, has also been cleared to play.

Irvine plays USC at 2 p.m. in the Bren Center.
