Jayden Quaintance - Working toward postseason return Quaintance (knee) is working toward a postseason return for Kentucky, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio reports.

Impact Quaintance hasn't played a game since Jan. 7 due to a right knee injury, but he could be primed to make his return after the Wildcats' regular season. The 6-foot-10 sophomore has a strength test in the coming days that is currently likely to get him cleared, given that his knee swelling has been under control as of late. While nothing is set in stone yet, the potential NBA lottery pick looks to be in a favorable spot for a tournament court appearance as of now.
