"It's not swelled," Kentucky coach John Calipari said after the game. "I think it might've been a stinger. I don't know. But something hit his ankle, so he's in a boot. But they said there's no swelling, so I don't know."
Fox is the Wildcats' third-leading scorer (16.2 points per game), averages a team-leading 6 assists and his 2.8 to 1 assist-turnover ratio leads the SEC. It's a big reason why the Wildcats own the second highest adjusted offensive efficiency rating in the country at 124.2 points per 100 possessions.
Kentucky visits Tennessee on Tuesday as they travel to Knoxville to take on Tennessee.
