LEXINGTON, Ky. — After sitting out Kentucky men's basketball's final preseason exhibition and Monday's opener, senior point Sahvir Wheeler made his 2022-23 debut Friday versus Duquesne.
Wheeler came off the bench against the Dukes. He subbed in with 14:45 remaining in the first half.
A Houston native, Wheeler suffered a knee injury in the second half of the Wildcats' first exhibition against Missouri Western on Oct. 30. He then missed the second exhibition (a 111-53 win over Kentucky State on Nov. 3) and the opener (a 95-63 victory over Howard on Monday).
