Kentucky’s Bob Cousy Award finalist will return to the floor vs. Duquesne on Friday evening. Sahvir Wheeler makes his season debut after missing the team’s second exhibition game vs. Kentucky State and the season-opener vs. Howard due to injury.
The 5-foot-9 playmaker left the team’s first exhibition game vs. Missouri Western at the 10:45 mark in the second half after taking an awkward fall at the baseline. He immediately reached for his right knee and lower leg and was helped to the bench.
