Ugonna Onyenso underwent surgery to repair a broken foot, the second such injury and procedure for a Kentucky big man this offseason. The sophomore center went down with a lower leg injury in a closed tune-up scrimmage in Toronto ahead of the GLOBL JAM, leading to a boot and crutches the rest of the week.

Onyenso then left the team ahead of the Wildcats’ gold medal matchup vs. Team Canada for further testing, resulting in a less-than-ideal update from John Calipari to close out the event.
