Center Edgar Garibay will not play in tomorrow's game against Morgan State, according to Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports. Garibay missed the majority of last season after tearing his ACL, and Head Coach Max Good and the Lions do not want to rush him back.

His planned absence from tomorrow's game is not a surprise, although some felt Garibay might see limited minutes to test out his leg. No word yet on whether Garibay will see any action against La Sierra on Sunday.

The Lions take on Morgan State in their regular season opener tomorrow at 7pm in Gersten Pavilion.


Update: Freshman center Godwin Okonji is also not expected to play, as he is battling a groin strain, according to lmulions.com. This will leave the Lions somewhat short at the five spot.
