美国媒体报道说,三名美国大学生篮球运动员在中国杭州因涉嫌在商店行窃被逮捕。

美国有线电视体育台ESPN星期三报道说,来自加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校的三名球员鲍尔、赖利和希尔已经被保释,但有消息来源说,他们被要求不得离开杭州,以等待法律处理。

加州大学洛杉矶分校定于星期六在北京跟乔治亚州理工学院队比赛。

加州大学洛杉矶分校篮球队教练奥尔福德星期三对记者说,他不要就此发表评论,而只想说鲍尔、赖利和希尔星期六将不会出场参赛。

加州大学洛杉矶分校发表声明说,校方已经知晓此事,正在跟中国当局全面配合。

U.S. media reports say three American college basketball players were arrested in China for allegedly shoplifting from a store in Hangzhou, China.

ESPN reported Wednesday three players from UCLA — LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill — had been released on bail, but were required to remain in Hangzhou until the legal process was completed, according to a source.

UCLA is scheduled to play Georgia Tech in a game Saturday in Beijing.

UCLA coach Steve Alford told reporters Wednesday that he would not comment except to say that Ball, Riley and Hill will not be playing Saturday.

The university issued a statement saying it is aware of the situation and cooperating fully with authorities in China.
