Kentucky freshman Shaedon Sharpe is not expected to make his season debut when the Wildcats take on the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence on Saturday.

Despite “(stepping) on the gas a little bit” in practice to start the week and Sharpe’s teammates pushing John Calipari to play him in games, the UK head coach would prefer to hold off a little while longer. He didn’t take the floor in Kentucky’s overtime win vs. Mississippi State, and he’s not expected to play at Kansas, either.
