Kentucky men’s basketball will be down a backcourt player once again Tuesday night against Arkansas.
The Wildcats will be without senior guard Sahvir Wheeler against the Razorbacks.
Wheeler didn’t emerge for UK pregame warmups on Tuesday night about 20 minutes before tipoff. On UK’s pregame radio show, Kentucky head coach John Calipari said that Wheeler tweaked an ankle in practice.
Wheeler was considered a game-time decision to play Tuesday night, but he won’t suit up for the Wildcats.
Wheeler is considered day-to-day with the injury.
Freshman guard Cason Wallace missed last Tuesday’s game at Ole Miss with a knee injury, but returned for Saturday night’s home win over Florida.
