The Spanish sophomore phenom, who tantalized the Bruin faithful with a blend of shot blocking, passing wizardry and interior scoring, is planning to continue his career away from Westwood.
Bruin Report Online first reported the news Monday evening, which was later confirmed by two sources familiar with the situation, according to the Los Angeles Times.

UCLA men’s basketball junior guard Dylan Andrews entered the transfer portal Wednesday afternoon, according to On3.
Andrews, who first assumed starting duties under coach Mick Cronin as a sophomore, struggled to maintain his offensive rhythm in the 2024-2025 season, ultimately failing to replicate his breakout sophomore campaign.
The starting floor general closed out his sophomore season with team-leading figures in 12.9 points per game while logging 35.2 minutes a contest – the third-highest mark in the Pac-12.
