Ever since suffering what initially looked like a very serious ankle injury in Kentucky’s exhibition game vs. Georgetown College, Nick Richards’ status for the Wildcats’ season opener against Michigan State has been in question.
It’s now a question that appears to have been answered, as Richards went through Kentucky’s shootaround and was even dunking.
In addition, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports that Richards should be available tonight, though it’s unclear how much the junior center will be able to play.
Next time I’m hurt, gimme the Kentucky basketball training staff.
