The anticipated return of Sahvir Wheeler will have to wait, at least till Sunday — should Kentucky win tonight, of course.
After an afternoon of feel-good stories regarding the senior guard’s return to action after six weeks out, John Calipari announced Friday evening he will not be able to give it a go vs. Providence to open the NCAA Tournnament.
Wheeler went through pregame shootaround and was only 70-75%, just too far away from being ready to play against the Friars. It goes along with the guidelines Calipari set regarding his return-to-play timeline this week.
