One of the few returning players from last year’s Elite Eight roster, Ashton Hagans suited up against Michigan State is what could be a terrific start to his sophomore season. After a great start to the game, it was obvious something was bothering the team’s leader as the game wore on.
After the game, John Calipari revealed Hagans was playing through a leg injury he sustained against Kentucky State in the team’s final exhibition. It actually required an MRI but turned out to be nothing more than a strain.
“He’s hurt. His leg has been bothering him for about four or five days,” said Calipari.
