Coming off back-to-back wins over Indiana and St. John’s, Kentucky has found new life this season.
A big reason why? Jayden Quaintance, a projected lottery pick in the 2026 NBA Draft who made his debut with the Wildcats during Saturday’s win over St. John’s. The 6-foot-10 big man looked every bit the player he was last season at Arizona State before going down with an ACL tear. Quaintance posted 10 points, eight rebounds, and two blocks, helping lead UK past St. John’s behind a thrilling second-half comeback.
On Monday morning, we got to hear more from Quaintance on his first game at Kentucky, his recovery process, and much more.
