Kentucky basketball adds to 2023-24 roster with potential NBA Draft pick from Croatia

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari isn't done adding to his 2023-24 roster, picking up another big man to solidify the front court.

Zvonimir Ivisic, a 7-foot-2, 220-pound center from Croatia, became the newest member of the Wildcats' program Tuesday, announcing his commitment on Twitter/Instagram.

“I got the offer for scholarship by Coach Calipari to attend the University of Kentucky,” Ivisic said in an Instagram Stories post. “I’m excited to tell that I accepted the scholarship and I will play there next season. Go Big Blue!!”

Ivisic, 19, tested the NBA Draft waters in 2022 and 2023, but withdrew his name before the international deadline each time.
