The Bruins were in China for a game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Nov. 10. Riley, Hill and Ball were arrested three days before that for stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store in Hangzhou.
Ball left UCLA on Dec. 4 and later signed a professional contract, along with his younger brother, LaMelo Ball, with Vytautas Prienai in Lithuania.
Riley and Hill were both highly regarded prospects coming into their first year at UCLA. Riley was the No. 47 recruit, and Hill came in at No. 64 in the 2017 recruiting class, per 247Sports' composite rankings.
The Bruins are off to an 8-3 start this season, though they are not ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 or USA Today Coaches Poll.
