Cason Wallace returns from injury vs. Florida, will start
Cason Wallace‘s injury hiatus will be limited to just one game, as the five-star freshman is set to return to the floor after missing the team’s win at Ole Miss earlier in the week.
Head coach John Calipari confirmed Wallace would play vs. Florida during a pregame radio segment with Tom Leach. At the time, he wasn’t sure if the 6-foot-4 guard would start or come off the bench, hinting it could be Sahvir Wheeler getting things rolling for a second consecutive game.
