Two possibilities:
It’s a grand conspiracy. Or, our athletes have suffered a sports injury, which can happen.

Maybe if Cal didn't get caught in lies people would believe him more............
I agree with a lot of this. But I wouldn't be surprised if Wheeler plays again. But, I can also see Cal not playing him if he doesn't trust Wheeler's motives for wanting to play. I doubt Cal will play him if he honestly feels Wheeler will just be out there trying out for his next team and ruining a tournament game and ending a season.
You had what's called twilight anesthesia, which isn't completely under. No comparison to General. Your doctor should lose his license for letting you drive though. Any procedure I have had, they had to speak directly to my ride home, face to face.
Here's what I ask myself about the 'procedure' and skipping Senior Night; would Chuck Hayes or Patrick Patterson not walked out on that court? There's your answer.
well the hospital should be under investigation for that stupidity and how did they let you ref anyways you should be fired.
Always strange drama surrounding CCC and his players. Whatever happened to the team showing up and playing. Reminds me of the infamous BCG “he’s not available” bs. People have had enough of this crap. Sad too because these guys could lay it all on the line and possibly go somewhere.
Think CW got a big scare an saw $$$$$ signs flying away. Said I don't think he plays again. At least he played most of it unlike some.
I clearly saw, on replay, he sprained his ankle. But it didn't look too bad since he could put some weight on it as he walked off. Likely out now (Arky) as a precaution, not hurt it worse. I look for him to be back Friday.
If he’s planning to transfer why even have his Jersey out there for Senior Night? Wouldn’t have made the speculation any worse than it is now. Would have been easy enough to say he is returning to UK, so no Senior Night, then transfer after the season is over. Nobody would have batted an eyelash at that.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Sure...I should've realized that I can't judge everybody by my iron-man standards. Anesthesia in the morning rendering someone incapable of walking out to half-court that night sounds completely reasonable
I’m not talking about Wallace, I know what his injury is. I saw it. I was talking about Wheeler.
It's not that I think wheeler/cal did us dirty; I just don't buy what they're selling and think there's more to the story than "had minor procedure; unable to attend sr. night"
I was scheduled for 8:00 that morning, but just as they were prepping me the doctor had an emergency situation he had to deal with. It was 1:00 by the time they put me under. I had to be at the gym by 5:00; once it was delayed, my wife was unable to jiggle her schedule to allow her to drive me, so she dropped the car off for me. I didn't turn the game back in because 1) we're short on refs and 2) I expected to be home on the couch by 1:00 and figured I'd be ok after a 3/4 hour nap. Having said all that, I was fine. Had my partner work the up spot and I stayed on the floor. No problem
Get ready. We are 10 years from guys missing games for hang nails or if they had a bad sad day. Probably have a transgender player too. Hell they will probably be tougher than the men or what ever term they use for men then.
Firstly, colonoscopies are typically done under moderate sedation at most, if not conscious sedation (not deep sedation which Wheeler would have needed if it's what we think it was). And no, obviously it wouldn't make someone completely incapable of walking out for Senior day, but why do you care? if he's still groggy/out of it and recovering from the procedure/anesthesia, it seems pretty ridiculous to claim "WELL HE STILL COULD HAVE HOBBLED OUT THERE!!!".
Who cares? Let him recover from the procedure, he wasn't going to play anyways. Especially given he was possibly still medicated with opioid pain medicine in addition to the anesthesia. We also don't even know what time the procedure was. Give it a rest man - sorry you were so offended that he didn't fight through that just to walk out on the court for a game he's not even playing in
I have been trying to read as many posts as I can trying to catch up on things. I had a death in the family that took me out of town for the last several days.
All is good, life is just that, life. You either deal with it or not.
But this Wheeler thing. I am not sure what to think about all this. I am not a big fan of his game but must say we really do need him for a back up.
With this, I think about Bobby Knight and what Wheeler could learn from Coach Knight.
Coach Knight said this and this might be what cause the cyst on Wheeler's tailbone"
Coach Knight on a player going to the bench:
"The greatest motivator in the world is your *** on the bench. *** meets bench, bench reasons ***, *** transmits signals to the body, body gets *** off the bench and plays better. It's a hell of a sequence."
Might just be Wheeler;s *** and the bench had a rebellion.

I wouldn't say any player will 100% play. Likely yes. 100% no. Will be 100% when UK confirms it.
They, Them, Those, and That. I should know, I identify as invisible. I'm Trans-parent. Pronouns Who, What, and Where?

I'm not offended at all. I am making the point that you keep ignoring that I don't buy the reason he wasn't there was because of the procedure.
They really don’t give opioids out after minor surgical procedures any longer. I had DeQuervains Tenosynovitis release surgery on my wrist last November. Full general anesthesia, had the surgery at 9:30 am. I was fine by about 3:00 that afternoon. They didn’t prescribe me opioids, just Tylenol and ibuprofen. I had the same surgery on the other wrist 10 years ago and they gave me enough ocycodone to kill a horse. I doubt he got any opioids at all.
I haven't read all of the pages but IMHO, Wallace will be out for the SEC tournament. A win or a loss there really won't affect our NCAA seeding that much. Let the dude rest up and let's get ready for what really matters.
They’ve all been correct. Except for the one right before the dark ages started. They dodged a proverbial bullet.
With Wheeler it was described as a "minor procedure." If it was so minor it couldn't have waited a few weeks? Sort of an important time of the season, you think? At least with Wallace we saw him injure his leg/ foot or something. With Wheeler it's so mysterious, and when you juxtapose that with the adjustment of his minutes, it's just naturally going to breed conjecture.
What if he was put under during the procedure? Maybe just Maybe, he wasn’t in any condition to attend. Since you nor anyone else knows any details about his surgery who are we to question? Players have to sign off on any information released, and I’m sure you are aware their are laws that prohibit Cal or anyone else from giving any detailed information to Johnny public.
Exactly. And then there was the whole vague Jarred Vanderbilt thing that went on and off all season.
The names change, but it has become some mysterious drama over one player or another almost every year under Calipari.
No, I can't surely see it. It is mysterious, yes, and we don't have a lot of information on it. All we actually know is that he was injured and then he had a procedure. All the rest is just conjecture and conspiracy. Until someone actually tells us differently, that's all it will ever be.
Now, for my part, I hope Wheeler gets to play again for this team. The team needs him. I'm hoping the same for Wallace as well, of course. We need him even worse than Wheeler. I guess we'll see.
I do what I can with what the good Lord gave me
But we sure as hot coffee have ourselves a poop ton of injuries every year since ‘13. When the old S&C guy left, who had been focusing so hard on VO2 Max it could tear bodies apart, and the new guy came in singing the injury prevention song I thought we had finally turned the page on that.
Nope.
