Slowed by a knee injury, freshman won't play against Maryland and Purdue this week.
The long-awaited debut of star USC freshman Alijah Arenas will have to wait at least another week.
Arenas is “progressing well” from the knee injury he suffered in the summer, but not ready to return, a person familiar with his status not authorized to speak publicly told The Times.
The five-star prospect has already been ruled out for this week’s matchups against Maryland — or Purdue, which had initially been the target for his return.
