Collin Chandler is back at practice after dealing with a minor injury
After coming on strong late in his freshman season last year, Kentucky Wildcats guard Collin Chandler is poised to build off that strong finish and parlay that into a strong second season with Mark Pope and the Wildcats.
Kentucky head coach Mark Pope has talked multiple times this offseason about how his second-year players take “massive leaps.” Pope expects to see that happen with Chandler.
However, that hit a bit of a speed bump recently, as Chandler missed some practice time while battling a minor injury. That caused him to miss the team’s scrimmage against La Familia earlier this month, which Kentucky narrowly won in what was a defensive struggle.
According to KSR’s Jack Pilgrim, Chandler returned to practice on Tuesday after dealing with the undisclosed injury.
“Collin Chandler has been out dealing with a little bit of a minor, minor, minor injury,” Pilgrim said on Tuesday night’s episode of Sources Say. “I’m told he is back, actually returned back to practice today, so that’s definitely a big positive. But wasn’t a part of that scrimmage with La Familia and some of the practices leading up and the 5-on-5s in the days since, but is officially back. That’s a great update.”
