Sits out scrimmage with shoulder issue Toppin didn't play Friday in Kentucky's intrasquad scrimmage while continuing to recover from a shoulder injury suffered earlier in the offseason, Nick Wheatley of ASeaofBlue.com r...

Impact Per Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio, Toppin sustained what was labeled as a "very minor" shoulder injury in early September. According to Wheatley, Toppin returned to practice a few weeks ago, but the third-year forward may need some more ramp-up time before Kentucky deems him ready for game action. Toppin's next opportunity to potentially play will come Friday, when Kentucky plays Kentucky Wesleyan College in an exhibition.

Eligible immediately Toppin is eligible to play this season after his waiver was granted by the NCAA on Wednesday,

Impact The Rhode Island transfer, along with new teammate Oliver Sarr, we're reportedly granted eligibility after their waivers were processed Wednesday. Toppin was a key reserve for the Rams last season and will provide depth at the forward position for the Wildcats who are loaded with talent.

Filing for eligibility in 2020-21 Toppin has a shot to play in 2020-21 after Kentucky filed a recent immediate eligibility waiver request, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Toppin spent just one season at Rhode Island before making the move to Kentucky, so he would traditionally have to be sidelined for a year before becoming eligible to play. The NCAA is seemingly more lenient on waiver requests given this year's circumstances, however, so the Wildcats feel it's worth it to at least make an attempt. Toppin wasn't a major factor in his freshman year with URI, so even if he gets a waiver, he'd still be a fringe rotation option with the Wildcats. Nevertheless, it's a team that needs frontcourt depth, a situation that could be even more serious if fellow undergrad transfer Olivier Sarr doesn't get approved for his waiver as well.
