Kentucky vs Auburn basketball: Wildcats' CJ Fredrick returns; Sahvir Wheeler still out

Kentucky senior guard CJ Fredrick will give it a go against Auburn on Saturday.

Fredrick, who has missed the Wildcats' past four games with a rib injury, went through Saturday's pregame warmups with his teammates. Fredrick will wear a pad under his shirt to try to protect the injured rib.

Another UK senior guard still is on the mend — Sahvir Wheeler. A native of Houston, Saturday marks the sixth consecutive contest Wheeler hasn't been available because of an ankle injury. He last appeared in a game in Kentucky' 72-67 win over Florida in Lexington on Feb.
