UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava is sidelined for the rest of the season after a severe left knee injury. UCLA coach Bob Chesney says the injury was sustained late in the first half of the Bruins’ 17-15 win over Oregon, and that Iamaleava will not play again this season.
Chesney said Monday that Iamaleava needs surgery and described the injury as “severe.” Multiple outlets report the procedure is expected to take place later Monday or Tuesday. The reports do not provide additional details on the exact nature of the knee injury or the surgery plan, but they agree on the timeline and the impact on Iamaleava’s season.
