The Kentucky Wildcats are off to a promising start in their Bahamas Tour, but it came with an injury scare.
Late in the first half of Wednesday’s matchup with the Dominican Republic National Select Team, senior point guard Sahvir Wheeler suffered a lower-body injury, limped to the bench to be examined by trainers, then limped to the locker room for further testing and stayed there for the remainder of the half. This comes after he missed four games last season due to minor injuries.
With Wheeler out, Kentucky has already gotten great minutes from freshmen guards Adou Thiero and Cason Wallace.
