Sahvir Wheeler and TyTy Washington are both available at Arkansas
Kentucky is back to full strength in Fayetteville, as Sahvir Wheeler and TyTy Washington are both expected to play against Arkansas this afternoon.
After missing back-to-back matchups against Alabama and LSU, Wheeler (wrist) and Washington (ankle) went through pregame warmups at Bud Walton Arena and were later announced as available against the Razorbacks. John Calipari confirmed during pregame radio that both players will play, but will not start.
“I think I’m going to play them today,” Calipari told Tom Leach. “They practiced. I’m not going to start them, but we’ll see how the game goes. We’ve got to start working them in anyway. They seem to be somewhat healthy. I told them if I see any limping or anything, I’m pulling them out. But it looks as though they’ll play today.”

With Wheeler and Washington coming off the bench, Davion Mintz and Kellan Grady will start again at the one and two, with Jacob Toppin, Keion Brooks Jr. and Oscar Tshiebwe rounding out the other starters.
With Wheeler and Washington out, Grady and Mintz combined for 32 points against Alabama and 26 points against LSU, both wins for the Wildcats. They did, however, play at least 38 minutes each in both games.
After a week of rest, Kentucky’s backcourt is back to full strength.
