LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky senior forward Derek Willis won't miss any game time despite his June arrest for public intoxication, coach John Calipari said Thursday.

A Boone County deputy arrested Willis in Union on June 11 after finding him asleep and lying outside the open driver's side door of a car. The arrest citation said the deputy noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from Willis, who had slurred speech when awakened. Willis was arrested for a first and second offense and released after posting $50 bond.

Calipari wouldn't say Thursday what disciplinary steps were taken against Willis, who averaged career bests of 7.
