Shabazz Muhammad eligible to play for UCLA

The NCAA reinstated UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad Friday, making him eligible for action immediately, the USA Today reported.
Muhammad had previously been ruled ineligible for receiving improper benefits during his recruiting process, USA Today said.
Muhammad's first game as a Bruin will be Monday, when UCLA takes on Georgetown.
"I am excited to be able to play for UCLA starting next Monday," Muhammad said, CBS Sports reported. "My family and friends were very supportive of me throughout this process and I couldn't have gone through this without them."
