Stanford sophomore 7-footer Brook Lopez was cleared this morning and will play Wednesday against Santa Clara.

Cardinal Coach Trent Johnson confirmed to FOXSports.com that Lopez, who sat out the first semester due to academics, was given the go-ahead to play shortly after 11 A.M. PT this morning.

Johnson was hopeful that Lopez would be cleared in time for yesterday's exhibition game against the College of Idaho, but he didn't receive the official word until this morning.
