John Calipari gives illness update: "We are so beat up and sick"

Kentucky doesn’t play another basketball game until December 7. By then, hopefully, they’ll be healthy. John Calipari gave reporters an update on his team’s status a few minutes ago and said the illnesses swirling around the Wildcat Coal Lodge include mono (!), strep throat, flu, and the sniffles.

“We are so beat up and sick thank goodness we’re not playing,” Calipari said. “We’ve had one with mono, one with strep throat. Probably can’t give all of them but we’ve had guys — today’s practice will probably have seven players there and like two managers.”

Davion Mintz has missed three straight games.
