Cal will be without its two main stars Ivan Rabb and Jabari Bird.

California men’s basketball senior Jabari Bird and sophomore Ivan Rabb will not suit up for Tuesday’s NIT First Round game against CSU Bakersfield.

Bird remains out indefinitely after suffering a concussion in the second minute of Cal’s Pac-12 Tournament semifinal game against Oregon on March 10.

Rabb is also unavailable with a foot injury.
