Davion Mintz is finally back.
After missing several weeks due to illness, the sixth-year guard has returned to practice for the Kentucky Wildcats, according to head coach John Calipari, who made the announcement during his Monday call-in show.
Based on Cal’s remarks, Mintz should be healthy enough to play in Tuesday’s matchup with Southern, though he could be eased back into the lineup after such a long layoff.
Mintz should be fully ready for Saturday’s clash with Notre Dame in South Bend, arguably the Wildcats’ toughest game since facing Duke in Game 1.
