A physically demanding week forced a few UConn players to miss a day or two of practice.

Sophomore guard A.J. Price sprained his right ankle Tuesday and wore a boot for two days. He is expected to play this weekend. Also, freshman forward Stanley Robinson felt some irritation in his left knee and practiced sparingly the last few days. He expects to play as well.

The most severe injury, aside from walk-on Ben Spencer’s sprained right ankle, was to freshman guard Doug Wiggins.

He experienced lower back spasms and sat out UConn’s practice Thursday at the Hartford Civic Center. Wiggins is questionable for Friday’s game against Central Arkansas.
