John Calipari, Olivier Sarr react to NBA decision

Kentucky Wildcats senior forward Olivier Sarr announced Tuesday he will forgo his remaining collegiate eligibility and declare for the 2021 NBA Draft.

Sarr, who transferred in from Wake Forest this past season, averaged 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game for the Wildcats and led the team with three double-doubles.

“I want to thank my parents, my brother, my entire family and support circle for believing in me every step of the way,” Sarr said in his announcement. “I have been blessed during my four years of college to have learned from two great coaches in Coach John Calipari and Coach Danny Manning and alongside teammates that I consider brothers for a lifetime.
