Kentucky Wildcats forward Keion Brooks Jr. has been medically cleared to return to competition after missing the first nine games of the season with a left leg injury, the school announced Thursday.
The sophomore will be in uniform Saturday vs. the Florida Gators and available to play for the 3-6 Wildcats, who’ve won two straight and could be primed to make another run at an SEC title now that Brooks is back.
Although Brooks has been conditioning and participating with the team in non-contact drills, Thursday was his first full practice since the injury.
