After playing mostly off the bench for the Wildcats last season, Lewis was the first Arizona player to enter the transfer portal, doing so less than two days are the Wildcats' season ended in a Sweet 16 loss to Duke on March 27.

Lewis already tested the NBA Draft last spring, after he averaged 6.1 points and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 46.6% and becoming one of the Wildcats’ top defenders as a freshman.

He was invited after the season to the G League Elite Camp, a second-tier pre-draft camp held before the NBA Combine, but turned down the invitation and returned to Arizona for his sophomore season in 2024-25.

Lewis finished with the third-most playing time among the Wildcats this season, averaging 25.8 minutes a game while again playing a significant defensive role, but moved back to the bench after six games as a starter and struggled to shoot from the perimeter.

UA coach Tommy Lloyd first removed Lewis from the starting lineup in the Wildcats’ last of three games in the Battle 4 Atlantis over Thanksgiving week, after Lewis had picked up his second technical foul in three games.

Lewis wound up averaging 10.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists as a sophomore this season, finishing on a generally strong note despite playing with an unspecified injury to his right wrist he suffered on Feb. 4 at BYU.

“It was probably an up-and-down year,” Lewis said after the Wildcats’ season-ending loss to Duke. “It was just a lot of loss of confidence in the middle of the year, the wrist injury, and a bunch of things going on.”
