UCLA basketball: Update on James Keefe injury

UCLA forward James Keefe is scheduled to have his sore left shoulder X-rayed this afternoon, Coach Ben Howland said.

Keefe was hurt in the first half of Tuesday night's game against New Mexico State, re-injuring a shoulder that required surgery for a torn labrum two years ago. Doctors may check to see if the screws from that procedure are still in place.

"I definitely don't anticipate him playing [against Notre Dame] Saturday in South Bend," Howland said.

Another forward, Nikola Dragovic, came down with the stomach flu and is not expected at practice today, Howland said.

UCLA forward James Keefe will miss 2 to 3 weeks while recovering from a dislocated left shoulder.

The senior was injured in the first half of the Bruins' 100-68 victory over New Mexico State on Tuesday night.

A team spokesman said Wednesday that X-rays on Keefe were negative. He injured the same shoulder that required surgery for a torn labrum in 2007.
