LOS ANGELES — Shabazz Muhammad is one-and-done at UCLA.
The Pac-12 co-freshman of the year on Tuesday announced the news that had been expected since he arrived in Westwood: he’s leaving to enter the NBA draft.
Muhammad was the Bruins’ leading scorer with 17.9 points per game, fourth-best in the league.
The 6-foot-6 guard from Las Vegas was named to the all-league first team and helped UCLA to a 25-10 record, the Pac-12 regular-season title and a runner-up finish in the league tournament. The Bruins lost to Minnesota in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
“I am so thankful for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play at UCLA and will always be proud to be a Bruin,” Muhammad said in a statement released by the school. “From a young age, I have dreamed of playing in the NBA, and I believe that this is the right time for me to move to the next level.”
