Calipari gives encouraging update on the health of his team entering NCAA Tournament
Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue Could Kentucky actually have everyone able to go Friday night vs. Providence? The NCAA Tournament is here, and the Kentucky Wildcats are looking to go on another deep run under John Calipari. Unfortunately, this has been one of Calipari’s most injury-prone teams since arriving in Lexington. There thankfully haven’t been any major injuries that sidelined players for months, if not longer. Instead, it’s been an onslaught of minor injuries that keep key players out for a few games here and there, making it hard to build the kind of...

Is “specializing” in basketball contributing to all the injuries we are seeing now?
Photo by Ethan Miller/ “Many players now enter the NBA with badly broken bodies.” Over the last five years or so, we have seen a lot of injuries happen with the Kentucky Wildcats that have in some cases derailed a promising season. However, are these injuries actually just bad luck or a product of players “specializing” in the sport at such a young age? Baxter Holmes of ESPN reported on this massive issue over a two-year period talking about how players now enter the NBA with badly broken bodies. Holmes starts by noting how players didn’t start specializing...

Positive injury update on Wallace, Wheeler & Fredrick
Drew Brown - A Sea Of Blue The Cats appear to be getting healthy at the right time. The Kentucky Wildcats are getting ready for this week’s SEC Tournament in Nashville, as they’ll play their first game on Friday night. However, there is a chance that the Cats will be heading into the postseason the healthiest we have seen them in a long time. Starting point guard Cason Wallace injured his ankle on Senior Night during the Cats’ loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores. That led to him missing last Saturday’s match against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Backup point guard...

Injury updates on CJ Fredrick, Cason Wallace, Sahvir Wheeler, and even John Calipari
Scott Utterback/Courier Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK Everyone is hurt. As John Calipari often says, March is the most important part of the season. In his fourteenth season as the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats, Calipari is looking to win his first NCAA Tournament game since 2019 and is preparing his team for what is hopefully a long postseason run in the SEC and NCAA Tournaments. That task would be much easier with a healthy roster, something the Wildcats have not had for over a month. For much of that time, CJ Fredrick (rib) and Sahvir Wheeler (ankle/tailbone)...

Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports Devin Leary is currently practicing, a big development after he missed most of last season due to injury. The Kentucky Wildcats have officially kicked off spring football!

With knee injury delaying pro career, Jordan Morgan taking on mentor role while rehabbing for return in 2023
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports If not for one wrong step, Jordan Morgan would have spent this past weekend at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Instead he was sitting in a lounge underneath Arizona Stadium on Friday afternoon, talking to reporters about the path that led him to return to the Wildcats. “Right now, I’m just working on recoveringm trying to get back as soon as I can, stay ahead of schedule,” said Morgan, who suffered a knee injury in November that not only ended his 2022 season but also caused him to put off his NFL aspirations for at least another...

John Calipari strongly praises CJ Fredrick for gutting through injury vs. Arkansas
Photo by Eakin Howard/ Fredrick gutted through injury to help the Wildcats score one of their most impressive wins of the season. What a win for the Kentucky Wildcats, who just scored what was easily one of their most impressive wins of the season. And given what Kentucky had to overcome today, you could make an argument for this being the Cats’ most gutsy win. After all, Kentucky was without top point guard Cason Wallace, as well as backup point guard Sahvir Wheeler, while CJ Fredrick played through a cracked rib that’s been plaguing him for the last month. Against...

Will Cason Wallace play in SEC Tournament? Calipari has no idea
Drew Brown - Sea of Blue Hmmm... The regular season has concluded for the Kentucky Wildcats, who are 21-10 overall following a gutsy 88-79 road triumph over the Arkansas Razorbacks. What made the win so impressive was the Cats played without their top two point guards in Cason Wallace and Sahivr Wheeler due to injury. It certainly says a lot about this team to go on the road and get a Quad 1 win without your top floor general, especially one like Wallace, who’s been one of the best freshmen in college basketball and a potential lottery pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. As...
