It may have been hard to notice with everything else going on Friday night, but Kam Williams did not play for Kentucky against Northern Arizona.
After making his return from foot surgery this offseason, Williams played against James Madison and Kansas in a combined 13 minutes. He scored two points against James Madison but didn’t score at all against Kansas. In fact, against Kansas, he didn’t even take a shot and had two turnovers.
So, with Williams not playing Friday, should Big Blue Nation be worried?
“Kam is kinda working his way back,” Pope said. “He’s healthy. He’s okay, but we’re trying to work him back gently.”
While a healthy Williams is a major element to Kentucky’s team, how much can he help this team in the grand scheme of things? Kentucky beat Northern Arizona by one point Friday night. One point.
There’s much work to be done, so hopefully, Williams can find a way to help improve this team, because it clearly needs plenty of it.
