HOUSTON -- UConn guard Jordan Hawkins, the best NBA prospect in the Final Four, will start in Saturday night's Final Four game against No. 5 Miami.
Hawkins, who has been dealing with an illness that teammates and staff are calling a stomach bug, stayed at the team's hotel Friday to rest and missed the team's open practice. He participated in shootaround Saturday.
Hawkins' health will be closely monitored during Saturday's game. UConn head coach Dan Hurley said Friday that the Huskies have three doctors on the trip who are working hard to get Hawkins back to 100%.
