If Kentucky wants to make a deep run in March, they need to get healthy — and it needs to happen soon.
Two of the Wildcats’ key backcourt pieces, CJ Fredrick and Sahvir Wheeler, have sat out the last several games as they recover from various injuries. Fredrick suffered a cracked rib that has cost him the last four contests while an ankle issue has sidelined Wheeler for the previous five. There is hope that Fredrick could return as soon as this weekend when Auburn comes to town, but the jury is still out on Wheeler, although he’s making progress and is participating in individual workouts.
