    Arizona men’s basketball player Zane Johnson will transfer from the university, the UA has announced. It is unclear where the 6-foot-5, 204-pound forward will transfer to.

    “”We wish Zane only the best of luck,”” UA head coach Sean Miller said in a statement released by Arizona Athletics. “”He felt that opportunities would be better for him elsewhere.””

    Johnson, who will be a junior in the fall, started 13 of 33 games this past season as a sophomore under interim head coach Russ Pennell. The 3-point specialist averaged 4.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game.

    Johnson was pulled from his redshirt by then-interim head coach Kevin O’Neill as a true freshman in the Wildcats’ game at ASU. He averaged .9 points and .6 boards in just 4.9 minutes per game that season.

    The Phoenix native was a three-star recruit from Thunderbird High School and was ranked 143rd overall in his class by Rivals.com.
