UCLA guard Tyler Lamb to leave basketball team

LOS ANGELES (AP) - UCLA guard Tyler Lamb has decided to transfer.

No. 11 UCLA announced Sunday that Lamb has been released from the basketball team. The junior will leave school at the end of the fall quarter.

Lamb started 32 games for the Bruins last season and played in all 34 games as a freshman. He averaged 5.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in two seasons.

Lamb played in just one game for UCLA this season following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Oct. 9 and sitting out four weeks. He had fallen behind freshmen Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams for playing time among the Bruins' swingmen.

UCLA hosted Cal Poly on Sunday night.
