The Kentucky Wildcats cannot afford another injury, especially in the frontcourt.
So of course, it took just one exhibition game for that to happen, as Nick Richards sustained an ankle injury vs. Georgetown College.
The injury came when Richards was attempting to contest a Georgetown shooter and turned his ankle coming down.
After being on the ground for about a minute, Richards had to be helped off and walked off the court very slowly as he entered the locker room for further testing.
Kentucky has since announced that Richards will not return to the game.
