LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky forward and consensus national player of the year Oscar Tshiebwe says he “absolutely” anticipates being ready for the No. 4 Wildcats’ season opener after having a procedure on his right knee earlier this month. The 6-foot-9 senior spoke publicly Tuesday for the first time since Wildcats coach John Calipari announced on social media that the player would have a “minor” procedure on the knee to “clean some things up.” Tshiebwe said he doesn’t anticipate missing any regular-season games. Calipari said the team won’t hold him back but won’t push him, either.
