Kentucky is close to full strength as it gets into the heart of its non-conference schedule, highlighted by the return of guard Davion Mintz.

Mintz, who has missed Kentucky’s last three games due to illness, will return to the lineup when the Wildcats take on Southern on Tuesday.

“Davion Mintz is playing. He’s finally back,” John Calipari said on his call-in radio show Monday evening. “I told him, ‘It’s good to have you back.’ I come out today, and he’s running sprints to get himself right before we practice, he’s shooting.
