JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Kentucky fans can breath a sigh of relief.

Star sophomore forward PJ Washington is still in line to play in the NCAA Tournament after spraining his foot in the SEC Tournament semifinal against Tennessee, according to UK coach John Calipari.

Washington has been wearing a walking boot as a precaution this week. Initial tests were all negative, but Kentucky elected to send Washington to a specialist to have his foot evaluate further.
