Kentucky trails UNC Greensboro 40-37 at half, but that’s just the first bit of bad news. Keldon Johnson suffered an ankle injury late in the first half after going up for a rebound.
The freshman landed awkwardly on his left ankle and had to be helped to the locker room. Thankfully, he returned to the bench just before halftime and appeared to be testing the ankle out to see if he could go back in before the buzzer sounded. We’ll bring you an update from UK as soon as we have one.
As for the rest of the team, the score may not indicate it, but they played really well in stretches, going on a 10-0 run to take a 23-17 lead with 9:30 left.
