Arizona center Kaleb Tarczewski will miss four to six weeks with a foot injury, the team announced Tuesday.

Tarzcewski was injured last week competing in the Wooden Legacy tournament against Santa Clara and sat out the Wildcats’ final two games against Providence and Boise State. He has a stress reaction and strained muscle in his left foot.

The senior 7-footer has averaged 8.6 points and 7.2 rebounds this season, shooting 57% from the floor. He was a key part of the team that made it to the Elite Eight in last year’s NCAA tournament.

Sophomore Dusan Ristic is expected to see added time in Tarczewski’s absence.

No. 19 Arizona (6–1) plays next on Saturday against No. 13 Gonzaga (4–1).
