Zvonimir Ivisic can’t seem to catch a break.
First, it was the admissions fiasco. Then came word that Big Z wasn’t cleared yet by the NCAA and may not be in time for the regular-season opener.
During Thursday’s exhibition game between the Kentucky Wildcats and Kentucky State, Z was noticeably absent from the bench when the game tipped off.
Making it even more odd was John Calipari said during the pregame radio show that Z was going to be at the arena for pregame warm-ups.
Apparently at some point, Z came down with food poisoning, which is why he wasn’t at the game, Calipari revealed in postgame interviews.
