Arizona senior big man Kaleb Tarczewski is expected to return Sunday against in-state rival Arizona State after missing the past eight games.

Due to left foot injuries, the 7-footer hasn't played since a Nov. 26 overtime win against Santa Clara in the Wooden Legacy tournament. Tarczewski did not play in the Wildcats' lone loss, a 69-65 setback the following day against Providence.

Arizona coach Sean Miller told reporters Friday that Tarczewski would play, but it could be in a limited role for the No. 8 Wildcats (12-1) in Tempe.

Tarczewski also battled right foot injuries prior to the start of the season and missed significant practice time. He averaged 8.6 points and 7.2 rebounds in the first five games this season.
