March is right around the corner, which means expectations are high for John Calipari’s team once again. However, ‘Big Blue Nation’ suffered a minor scare earlier today when news broke that star freshmen De’Aaron Fox and Bam Adebayo were involved in a car accident.
Fortunately, it was just that, minor.
The spokesperson confirmed to LEX18 that both Fox and Adebayo were passengers in a car involved in the traffic accident as they were on their way back to campus for a meeting. Police confirm that Adebayo and Fox were passengers in the car. LEX18 is told that since neither player was driving, they called to get another ride so that they were not late to the meeting.
UK also confirmed that the police did go to the Joe Craft Center to meet with Fox and Adebayo, and that neither player suffered any injuries in the crash.
The Wildcats will play host to the Tennessee Vols this Tuesday night.
