Kam Williams Returns for SEC Tournament

0:00On March 10, Kentucky Wildcats fans have exciting news on injured wing calm Williams. The six foot eight forward from Tulane is wrapping up after foot surgery and could return soon for the SEC tournament. Coach Mark Pope says he's getting close after limited practices this week. Williams last played on January 21st against Texas A&M where he scored nine points in 16 minutes before the injury. He's averaging nearly seven points, two and a half rebounds and one assists per game this season. After full contact sessions last week, he felt sore but pushed through more drills ahead of the Florida game. Coach Pope shared the update on his radio show, noting Williams practiced lightly again and they'll check his soreness tomorrow. His return would boost Kentucky's defense and shooting as they head to Nashville to face LSU on Wednesday. Meanwhile, center Jating Quaintants remains further out with a knee issue. The potential lottery pick hasn't done meaningful contact work yet and has only played four games this season. He's building strength and conditioning but on court time is limited.

1:01With just two regular season games left, both players progress could shape Kentucky's post-season run, especially if Williams suits up soon.
