Arizona will have Motiejus Krivas back in the frontcourt for the 2026-27 season after the big man considered entering the draft.
Krivas is coming off a productive season in which he averaged 10.4 points and 8.2 rebounds for a Wildcats team that reached the Final Four. His return gives Arizona a key interior presence from a roster that made one of the deepest postseason runs in the program’s recent history.
The decision keeps a proven contributor in Tucson as the Wildcats prepare for another campaign. Krivas’ rebounding and scoring around the basket were central parts of Arizona’s success last season, and his return provides continuity for the program heading into 2026-27.
