Daimion Collins - Questionable for Saturday Collins was unable to practice Thursday and is a question mark to play in Saturday's game against Kansas, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly what is bothering Collins, but it appears he may be held out of Saturday's contest depending on how things go in the next 24 hours. Considering he averaged just 3.0 minutes in his last four appearances, Collins' absence Saturday wouldn't figure to factor in much from a fantasy standpoint.

Tyty Washington - Status for Saturday unclear Washington (ankle) didn't practice Thursday and coach John Calipari was unwilling to divulge his status for Saturday's contest against Kansas, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact The fact that Washington didn't practice Thursday doesn't bode particularly well, but it looks like we may not get an official game status for the freshman until the Wildcats take the floor for pregame warmups. If he can't go, Sahvir Wheeler would presumably handle most of the minutes on the ball Saturday.

Impact Wheeler was labeled as questionable coming into the contes due to an undisclosed issue, but looked just like his normal self. Wheeler is now putting up 16.3 points and 5.5 assists over the last four games. He will look to continue that against Kansas on Saturday.

Jacob Toppin - Ankle all good Toppin said that his ankle was good after Tuesday's game, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Toppin briefly left the game to get his ankle looked at, but it's nothing to be concerned with. Provided he has a setback in practice, Toppin should be all set to take on Kansas on Saturday as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.

Jacob Toppin - Makes late return from ankle issue Toppin suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's win over Mississippi State, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Toppin suffered the injury midway through the second half and went to the locker room to get his ankle taped. He returned to the bench relatively quickly but didn't retake the court until a brief stretch of overtime. Toppin didn't look fully himself despite being cleared to return, and he should be considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with Kansas.

Tyty Washington - Won't play Tuesday Washington (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against Mississippi State, Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Washington's status for Saturday remains in question as well, but the Kentucky backcourt will be down at least one member Tuesday. Depending on the availability of Savhir Wheeler (undisclosed), it could be Davion Mintz serving as the team's primary point guard Monday.

Sahvir Wheeler - Availability uncertain Wheeler (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Mississippi State, Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald-Ledger reports.

Impact Wheeler's status for Tuesday is uncertain after the junior ran into multiple hard screens during Saturday's game. Wheeler entered the locker room briefly but made his return to the court during the 80-71 loss to top-ranked Auburn. The 5-foot-9 guard has started 17 games for the Wildcats, averaging 10.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.4 steals on 29.5 minutes per game this season. If Wheeler is unable to play, Davion Mintz should take on a larger role.

Impact Tshiebwe was back in double figures offensively, as the junior hasn't accomplished the feat since Jan. 11 against Vanderbilt. His 14 rebounds also marked a team best, and the center has now hauled in at least 10 rebounds in six straight games. Tshiebwe is averaging 16.1 points and a conference-leading 14.8 rebounds per game.
