When head coach Bobby Hurley and the Arizona State Sun Devils men’s basketball team open their season Tuesday night against Portland, they will be doing so down a handful of players.
ASU will be without forward Jalen Graham, as well as guards Jay Heath, Justin Rochelin and Jordan Williams, who are all out in COVID-19 protocol, per The Athletic’s Doug Haller.
Sun Devils fans are familiar with Graham, as the junior is back after averaging 8.1 points per game as a sophomore, while the other three are newcomers to the program.
