CJ Fredrick scored 17 points to lead No. 4 Kentucky to a 106-61 win over South Carolina State

Starting Thursday Wheeler is starting Thursday against South Carolina State.

Impact Wheeler made his season debut last Friday but came off the bench during his first two appearances of the year. He averaged 13.5 points and 9.5 assists in 33.5 minutes per game and should see even more usage now that he's back in the starting lineup.

Available but won't start Wheeler (knee) will be available off the bench Friday against Duquesne, Hunter Shelton of Wildcats Today reports.

Impact Wheeler was a question mark coming into Friday's game after suffering a right knee injury during a preseason scrimmage versus Missouri. The 5-9 guard was seen going through warmups, and although he isn't starting, Wheeler is expected to be available off the bench. The senior is eventually expected to cement himself in the starting lineup once he's fully healthy and it will be worth seeing if that comes as soon as Tuesday when Michigan State comes to town.

Set to make season debut Wheeler (knee) is going through warmups ahead of Friday's game versus Duquesne, Aaron Gershon of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Wheeler missed Monday's season opener due to a right knee injury he sustained in an offseason scrimmage against Missouri. Wheeler should resume his role as the team's starting point guard Friday.

Ruled out Monday Wheeler (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Howard, Aaron Gershon of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Wheeler aggravated a right knee injury during a scrimmage against Missouri Western in late October and will be unavailable for the Wildcats' regular-season opener. Coach John Calipari said last week that Wheeler is "moving around," but it's unclear when the point guard will be available. Cason Wallace will likely see additional work Monday.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain for opener Head coach John Calipari said Thursday that he doesn't know if Wheeler (knee) will play in Monday's season opener against Howard, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Calipari added that Wheeler is "moving around," but the point guard would need to practice in some capacity before Monday in order to play in the season opener. If Wheeler is sidelined for the start of the regular season, Cason Wallace would likely see an expanded role in the Wildcats' backcourt to begin the 2022-23 campaign.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss exhibition game Wheeler (leg) will not play in Wednesday's exhibition game against Kentucky State.

Impact Wheeler aggravated his right knee in Sunday's scrimmage against Missouri Western. This knee injury has been an issue for the senior for the last few weeks. It's unclear what Wheeler's availability will be for Monday's game against Howard to open the regular season.

College basketball 2022-23 countdown: No. 4 Kentucky

Aggravates knee injury Sunday Wheeler aggravated a right knee injury in Sunday's scrimmage versus Missouri Western, Jeff Drummond of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Head coach John Calipari said that Wheeler tweaked the same knee that held him out of last week's exhibition. The injury isn't thought to be serious, though Wheeler's availability for the Nov. 7 regular-season opener with Howard is now in question. Kentucky also has an exhibition matchup on the schedule this Thursday.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with right leg injury Wheeler has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's scrimmage due to a right leg injury.

Impact Wheeler was unavailable for last weekend's intrasquad scrimmage due to a knee injury but was available to begin Sunday's scrimmage. While the team downplayed the severity of his knee injury, it's unclear whether his right leg issue will force him to miss time once the regular season gets underway Nov. 7 against Howard.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses out on scrimmage Wheeler hit his knee during practice and sat out Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage as a precaution, Tyler Thompson of Kentucky Sports Radio reports.

Impact Both Wheeler and the program are downplaying the knee injury, so this appears to be a case of him simply sitting out a low-stakes exhibition matchup. If the presumed starting point guard can get out on the court for exhibition matchups Oct. 30 and Nov. 3, there should be no further concerns about his availability for the Nov. 7 opener against Howard.
