The nagging concerns over PJ Washington’s no-show Wednesday were confirmed Thursday morning when John Calipari tweeted that Kentucky’s sophomore forward will not play in the team’s NCAA opener.
Not only will Washington not play against Abilene Christian at the Veterans Memorial Arena (7:10 p.m. start on CBS), his sprained foot has been placed in a hard cast.
The specialists confirmed our original diagnosis that @PJWashington has a sprained foot and there is no fracture. Once we determined that PJ was not going to play today, they put him in a hard cast for precautionary reasons.
