The Kentucky Wildcats knocked off the Manhattan Jaspers in Tuesday’s season opener as Mark Pope’s squad got off to a 1-0 start. They did so without several key contributors to this roster as the injury bug has already bitten this preseason.
One of those players is forward Kam Williams. Recovering from a second foot surgery, Williams is inching closer to a return.
Now, Ben Roberts is reporting that Williams was able to scrimmage against Kentucky’s starters on Thursday. That would suggest the sophomore
forward is very close to returning. You have to think there’s a chance he plays in next week’s Champions Classic showdown with the Kansas Jayhawks.
Williams will once again be a key piece to this roster when healthy. He’s known for his shooting, but his length and playmaking will be a welcome addition alongside Milan Momcilovic. Add in his defensive ability, and Williams should bolster this roster to a new level when healthy.
With a return in sight, it should be fun for this team to go at full strength. Now, we just wait.
