Kentucky's Ashton Hagans to Miss Game vs. Florida, Asks to 'Step Away' From Team

Kentucky will play without sophomore point guard Ashton Hagans during its regular-season finale against Florida on Saturday, head coach John Calipari announced.

Calipari took to Twitter to say Hagans asked to temporarily "step away" from the team and did not travel with them to Gainesville.

"[Hagans] and I met a couple days ago and he asked to step away for a couple days for personal reasons," Calipari said. "I support his decision. We are going to need him at 100% for the postseason."

Hagans is averaging 11.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.
