UConn's Braylon Mullins day-to-day as preseason practice begins

UConn men's basketball began its official preseason practice on Tuesday, with Braylon Mullins absent during much of the session. Mullins eventually appeared in practice attire but did not participate. Coach Dan Hurley stated that Mullins is day-to-day due to a minor issue and expects him to return in about a week to ten days. During practice, Colben Landrew showcased his skills with effective shooting, while Na'jai Hines impressed with his shot-blocking. Hurley noted the team's youthful talent, including several freshmen and transfers, and emphasized the potential of his backcourt, particularly Silas Demary Jr., who aims to increase his three-point attempts this season. Jordan Hawkins visited the practice after his recent trade to the Memphis Grizzlies, sharing insights with the team.
