Adou Thiero is “day-to-day,” Florida status uncertain
Quietly lost in the shuffle of Kentucky’s blowout win over Illinois State was Thiero’s absence — “general soreness” was the official listing on the injury report, later confirmed as a minor back issue.Where do things stand ahead of the Wildcats’ trip to Gainesville?
“He’s day-to-day, so I don’t know,” Calipari said Monday. “The players on Saturday had an individual work day, were off Sunday, then Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are two-a-days. Thursday, we’ll scale back Friday, the day before the game. Then Saturday at noon, sold-out arena — it’s been sold out for a month. Florida, they’re waiting on us.”
Will he play in that matchup? Again, to be determined.
“Hopefully, Adou plays sooner than later,” he added. “But one guy’s misery is another guy’s opportunity.”
