When Blair Green puts on that Kentucky jersey and steps onto the Memorial Coliseum floor in under a month, it’ll be the first time she’s done so in almost exactly one year.
Now a fifth-year graduate student with the Wildcats women’s basketball team, Green sat out the entire 2021-22 season with a ruptured Achilles. The 6-foot-2 guard suffered the injury prior to the beginning of the regular season during a closed scrimmage against Eastern Kentucky. Green was able to return for an additional year of eligibility though, and she’s back for the 2022-23 season at full health.
