Kentucky coach John Calipari tweeted Tuesday that All-American forward Oscar Tshiebwe needs a minor knee surgery to “clean some things up.”
Tshiebwe was the consensus National Player of the Year last season, sweeping the Naismith Award and five other awards.
Telling Wildcats fans he had “good news and bad news,” Calipari said Tshiebwe “had an unbelievable performance” in front of pro scouts at Kentucky’s annual pro day for NBA scouts.
“Bad news is I kept him out of practice (Saturday) with knee stuff,” Calipari wrote. “He refused to sit out Pro Day and balled out. I made him sit out (Monday) and get examined as a precaution. He’s going to have a minor 15-minute procedure to clean some things up. Not a big deal, but no dancing at Madness!”

Was this a recent injury that caused the "minor knee surgery" to "clean some things up"? If not, why wasn't it done months ago?
BTW....I haven't been here for awhile.....where is everyone?
Thanks.

I'm still here, but people tend to scatter, once the season is over.

This happens every year after UK's last basketball game. *silence* ensues.
Summer is pretty much dead for college sports, and football generates far less interest than basketball, so until we get nearer to the start of BB season, this place gets very, very quiet.
As to Tshiewbe's surgery, who knows? Might be something he tweaked in practice or a pick-up game. Hope it is a quick fix and rapid recovery!
