Kentucky players held their breath as Hagans exited game with injury: “He’s our go-to guy”

Ashton Hagans is clearly one of the leaders on this year’s basketball team, and it’s hard to imagine this group without the guidance and consistency of the sophomore point guard. That made his injury Saturday afternoon all the more scary for Kentucky.

Since Hagans exited the Wildcats’ game against Missouri with 1:48 remaining in the second half, we’ve now learned it’s a low-ankle sprain, not an achilles tear. John Calipari told us that much following the game.
