Arizona center Motiejus Krivas is returning for the 2026-27 season after a breakout junior campaign for the Wildcats.
The school announced the news on social media Monday with the caption, 'Go ahead and add him to your preseason POY watch list now. Mount Krivas is back!'The 7-foot-2 Krivas averaged less than eight points in less than 16 minutes per game in each of his first two seasons with the Wildcats. This past season, he amassed 10.4 points (fourth-most on the team), 8.2 rebounds (second) and 1.9 blocks per game (fourth nationally), helping Arizona reach the Final Four for the first time since 2001.
With his return for a fourth season in Tucson, he'll be the first player to start and finish a four-year career at Arizona under Tommy Lloyd.
He's likely to be a critical piece of the team with freshmen Brayden Burries and Koa Peat declaring for the NBA Draft. The Wildcats have added a pair of guards through the portal: North Carolina transfer Derek Dixon and Washington transfer JJ Mandaquit.
