Kentucky fans got a brief scare this week when photos surfaced of guard Otega Oweh wearing a walking boot during a campus pickup game. While the sight of any player in a boot raises concern, early indications are that the move is precautionary, not the result of a major injury.
Along with Oweh, Arizona State transfer Jayden Quaintance was playing in sandals, fresh off an ACL. Quaintance is expected to be fully healthy soon, but it is good to see him out on the court in August.
Oweh, the former Oklahoma transfer expected to be the centerpiece for Mark Pope this season, was seen on the pick-up court in Lexington.
