No action against Creighton Ware did not take the court in Wednesday's 68-66 OT victory over Creighton.
Impact Ware has largely served as the backup to starter Eric Dixon this season, but it's largely been for defensive purposes. Despite appearing in all previous 11 contests, Ware had yet to score more than two points in a single game. Dixon didn't need much relief Wednesday, however, as he matched a season-high 37 minutes and put up the second-best scoring total of his career. On top of that Nnanna Njojku was his backup, logging two points and three boards in eight minutes. There hasn't been any reported injury for Ware, so it's unclear whether he's just losing minutes, or something else is holding him back.

Logs six minutes in return Ware (shoulder) racked up zero points (0-1 FG) in six minutes during Saturday's 78-52 loss to Alabama.
Impact Ware didn't contribute in Kentucky's loss and missed his lone attempt from the field, but at least he managed to return after not facing LSU on Jan. 3. Ware opened the season as a starter, but he's made just two starts across Kentucky's last 11 games.

Warming up versus Alabama Ware (shoulder) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Alabama and is expected to play, Ryan Black of The Manhattan Mercury reports.
Impact Ware will likely play in Saturday's game after missing the previous contest due to a shoulder injury. The junior guard is averaging 3.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 14.3 minutes across 11 games this season.

Set to come off the bench Ware is not listed in Kentucky's starting lineup ahead of Saturday's showdown with Louisville.
Impact Ware will come off the bench on Saturday as Jacob Toppin is set to return to the starting lineup. The 6-foot-9 junior has appeared in 10 games this season, logging 3.8 points, three rebounds, 1.1 assist, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks on 15.4 minutes per game. It is unclear how large of a role the junior forward will have against the Cardinals as in games coming off the bench, Ware has averaged just 8.5 minutes per game.

Positive impact in exhibition Ware had two points (1-3 FG, 0-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 16 minutes in Sunday's 56-38 exhibition victory over Missouri Western.
Impact Ware pulled a muscle in practice in mid-October that forced him to sit out Kentucky's Blue-White scrimmage, but he was back in action for exhibition play a week later. Look for the junior forward to provide depth in the pain behind the likes of Jacob Toppin and Daimion Collins, with a slight chance to see more run if Oscar Tshiebwe (knee) has to miss time (though there hasn't been any indication of that yet).

DNP in scrimmage Ware (muscle pull) did not take the court in Kentucky's intrasquad scrimmage Saturday.
Impact There was no reason to rush Ware for a relatively meaningless exhibition bout, so his availability for the start of the season shouldn't be a major concern just yet. Kentucky does welcome Missouri Western State to Rupp Arena for an exhibition matchup Oct. 30, so a better picture of his availability will likely be painted at that time. The 6-9 forward is hoping to carve out a bigger role for Big Blue after averaging 1.5 points and 1.9 rebounds a season ago.

Dealing with pulled muscle Updating a previous report, Ware's recent absence has been due to a muscle pull, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reports.
Impact The issue keeping Ware out of practice was unreported initially, but more clarification has since emerged. It remains unclear how this will effect the 6-9 junior's availability for Saturday's Blue-White scrimmage or Kentucky's multiple exhibition contests after that.

Will miss a few days Coach John Calipari said that Ware will miss a few days with an undisclosed injury, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reports.
Impact It's unclear what type of injury that Ware suffered, but it doesn't sound like it's anything that will put his status in jeopardy for the opener on Nov. 7 against Howard.

Returns to court Wednesday Ware (undisclosed) closed with five points (5-6 FT) and three rebounds in seven minutes during Wednesday's 83-56 victory over Missouri.
Impact Ware missed the team's last game against Western Kentucky with an undisclosed issue, but the forward was back in action for Wednesday's win. His five points actually accounted for a season high, as he broke his previous mark of four set back Nov. 26.

Misses while not feeling healthy Ware was not feeling ready to take the floor late in Wednesday's game against Western Kentucky, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ware doesn't typically play more than a handful of minutes off the bench, but he wasn't feeling loose and ready to go in the contest late Wednesday. He'll have a full week to get right ahead of the team's next game Dec. 29 versus Missouri.

Back after three-game absence Ware (ankle) registered four points (2-3 FG) and one rebound across seven minutes during Friday's 86-52 victory over North Florida.
Impact Ware missed three games due to injury, but was back to his regular reserve center role in this contest. Oscar Tshiebwe has the five locked down for Kentucky while Daimion Collins has even seen his minutes grow of late, so it may be a struggle for Ware to see consistent playing time, even when healthy.

On court for warmups Ware (ankle) was on the court for pre-game warmups ahead of Friday's game against North Florida, Jon Hale of the Louisville Courier Journal reports.
Impact Ware has missed three straight games with an ankle injury. He played a total of 10 minutes across the first two games of the season, so he's probably in line for a small role if he's ready to return Friday.
