Arizona freshman forward Kevin Parrom will miss this week’s games at Cal and Stanford because of a foot injury, sports information official Richard Paige confirmed in a text message.

Arizona was expected to release more information Thursday afternoon after the team’s shootaround in advance of the game against the league-leading Golden Bears on ESPN. Cal is a 12-point favorite.

(UPDATE: UA did indeed send out a press release, which had this to say about the foot injury: ” All medical tests to this point have been negative, but the UA medical staff wants to ensure a safe and pain-free return to participation.”)

Arizona says Parrom is out indefinitely.

Freshman Solomon Hill, who had been a starter before Parrom’s emergence, figures to be the new starter for coach Sean Miller. Parrom missed the first 10 games of the season with a stress fracture in his left foot, the same one in which he is experiencing pain, albeit in a different part of the foot.

Oddly, the news of Parrom’s absence from the trip first appeared on tweets from Arizona players, and Parrom later updated his Facebook status to reflect the fact he was in class.

Parrom is averaging 4.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 21.4 minutes. He has played in 16 games, starting nine.
