John Calipari applauded the strides made from EJ Montgomery in Kentucky basketball's win over Mississippi State. Louisville Courier Journal
LEXINGTON — John Calipari is not quite ready to declare this season a lost one for freshman wing Dontaie Allen after all.
Just more than one week after saying Allen, who is working his way back from a torn ACL suffered as a senior at Pendleton County High School in December 2018, was not ready to contribute for Kentucky in the wake of Kahlil Whitney's departure, Calipari reopened the door to Allen playing this season after Kentucky's win over Mississippi State Tuesday.
