Arizona State starting forward Santiago Trouet out vs. Colorado

Arizona State forward Santiago Trouet (undisclosed) was ruled out for Saturday’s game vs. Colorado, per the Big 12 availability report.

It will be the first missed game of the year for Trouet, who has started all 13 games and is ASU’s leading rebounder (5.5 per game). He’s coming off tying a season high of 13 points against Oregon State.

Fellow starting forward Andrija Grbovic was listed as questionable on Friday night’s availability report, but he was cleared on the game-day update.

ASU will be without six other players on Saturday besides Trouet: Vijay Wallace (ankle), Adante’ Holiman (elbow), Kash Polk (undisclosed), Dame Salane (undisclosed), Jovan Icitovic (ankle) and Quentin McCoy (undisclosed).

The Sun Devils will have forward Allen Mukeba, who left the Oregon State game with a minor lower-body injury.

Head coach Bobby Hurley told Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta on Tuesday that Mukeba was coming off a practice where he looked as good as he’s looked all season.

No Colorado players were listed on the availability report on Saturday after starting center Bangot Dak (11.5 points, team highs with 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game) was questionable on Friday.
