Sahvir Wheeler - Remains out Tuesday Wheeler (neck) won't play in Tuesday's game at Vanderbilt, Brandon Ramsey of Kentucky Sports Radio reports.

Impact Wheeler will miss a second straight matchup with a neck injury.

Tyty Washington - In starting lineup Washington (undisclosed) will start Saturday's game against Georgia.

Impact There was some concern surrounding Washington's status leading up to the contest, but it appears he's fine and likely ready to handle his usual workload. The sophomore has compiled 13.4 points, 4.3 boards, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals over 30.6 minutes per game entering the day.

Sahvir Wheeler - Not in on warmups Wheeler (neck) isn't taking part in warmups prior to Saturday's game versus Georgia, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reports.

Impact Wheeler's status was painted as doubtful entering the day and his absence from warmups seems to confirm he will sit out. With Wheeler sidelined, look for TyTy Washington and Davion Mintz to see extra time on the ball, with Mintz also likely seeing a big boost in his playing time. Jacob Toppin also so added work after Wheeler left Tuesday.

Sahvir Wheeler - Sounding unlikely to play Saturday Wheeler (neck) seems unlikely to play this Saturday against Georgia Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wheeler left Tuesday's game against LSU with a neck injury that is still bothering him today. Coach Calipari doesn't expect Wheeler to be available for practice Friday or Kentucky's game Saturday. The 5-foot-9 guard has started 14 games for the Wildcats, averaging 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.4 steals on 29 minutes per game, and will be greatly missed when Kentucky takes on Georgia Saturday.
