Kentucky hosts the Arkansas Razorbacks after Cason Wallace scored 20 points in Kentucky's 72-67 win over the Florida Gators

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • Associated Press

Scores 20 points Wallace provided 20 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 72-67 victory over Florida.

Impact Wallace was Kentucky's best scorer as the team got off to a strong start in February. The team is unranked without any ranked votes so far, and it will try to use this month to prove its doubters wrong. Wallace has some great momentum, with 14.4 points averaged across his last five games.

Starts in return to action Wallace (leg) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Florida.

Impact Wallace didn't play Tuesday against Mississippi due to a leg injury, but the injury apparently wasn't serious, and he's ready to return to the starting unit. Wallace is averaging 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season.

Won't play against Mississippi Wallace is out for Tuesday's game versus Mississippi due to a leg injury, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reports.

Impact Wallace's injury isn't expected to be long-term. Sahvir Wheeler will likely replace the freshman guard in the starting lineup. Wallace's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Florida.

Good to go Saturday Wallace (back) will play in Saturday's game versus Tennessee, Cameron Drummond of The Lexington Herald-Leader reports.

Impact Wallace will play Saturday after leaving the previous game early with back spasms. The freshman guard is set to start, as he has in all 16 of his appearances this season.

Warming up ahead of Tennessee Wallace (back spasms) was warming up and planning on giving it a go Saturday at Tennessee, Wes Rucker of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact The freshman will be available Saturday after dealing with back spasms throughout the week. This would be huge for Kentucky as the guard is averaging 11.6 points and 3.7 assists this season.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Wallce (back) is considered day-to-day and is questionable for Saturday's game at Tennessee, Aaron Gershon of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Wallace suffered the back injury during Tuesday's loss to South Carolina, and his availability for Saturday's contest is now in question. CJ Fredrick and Antonio Reeves should be more involved for Kentucky if Wallace is unable to face Tennessee.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Does not return Wallace (back) did not play again during the Wildcats' 71-68 loss Tuesday versus South Carolina.

Impact Unfortunately for Wallace, he logged fewer than five points and only one assist across eight minutes before injuring his back Tuesday. Wallace's next opportunity to return is when the Wildcats visit Tennessee on Saturday.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits versus South Carolina Wallace is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against South Carolina with a lower-back injury.

Impact Wallace logged four points and an assist before sustaining this injury at some point during the first half. The nature of this issue is still unclear, though his absence should leave CJ Frederick and Antonio Reeves to step up into bigger roles for the time being.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 14 points in win Wallace finished Tuesday's 74-71 win over LSU with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists over 40 minutes.

Impact The 6-foot-4 guard has been impressive so far this season averaging 12.9 points on 50.4 percent shooting from the field. The freshman has made his mark recently as well, scoring 19.3 points in his last four contests. He has been a huge contributor so far and shows no signs of slowing down. As one of the best freshmen in the conference, expect Wallace to continue the high-level play and consistent shooting.

Impact Wallace has an 11.3-point average on a 55.6 field goal percentage (50.0 three-point) and logged without including free throws.

Currently, the guard is one of college basketball's most promising freshmen.

Impact Wallace worked with the starting unit during the team's summer trip to the Bahamas, and while he didn't start here, he still saw starter-level minutes. The five-star freshman is in line for an off-ball role alongside veterans CJ Fredrick and Sahvir Wheeler, but with the latter dealing with an aggravated knee injury, it's possible Wallace could see more time with the ball in his hands early.
