Injury Disrupts Ulis' Development

Ulis has been doing it all for Kentucky so far in 2015. Heading into the game against South Florida, the sophomore sensation was tied for the team lead with 14.2 points per game, led the team with 4.8 assists per game and averaged 4.2 rebounds per contest. 

The Wildcats are stacked with talent every year, thanks to head coach John Calipari, but Ulis is their one true point guard. 

Kentucky will need Ulis to be at full strength if the team hopes to make another deep tournament run, so the Wildcats will be hoping this injury won't resurface later down the stretch.
