Is tendinitis John Wall’s kryptonite? Not likely, says Wall and head coach John Calipari.Wall, UK’s sensational freshman point guard, revealed Tuesday that he’s been battling tendinitis in his knees, a problem he’s had since 11th grade.”I don’t know where it came from,” Wall said. “All I know is it’s a terrible, terrible pain to have.”However, Calipari said Wall’s tendinitis will not affect his status for Wednesday’s game vs. Connecticut in Madison Square Garden in New York City. Calipari said tendinitis is an injury that you learn to deal with.”Any player that’s played for a long period of time has it in their knees, their ankles,” Calipari said. “You learn to live with it or retire.”Wall said he’s been receiving treatment on his knees, in addition to wearing knee pads and applying Icy Hot before each game. There are no plans to have surgery, Wall said.”It doesn’t affect it as much if I get treatment on it,” Wall said. “It can slow you down because you can’t really jump like you want to and you can’t move like you want to. If you get kneed in it it’s going to be pretty sore.”North Carolina stormed back from a double-digit deficit when Wall went out of Saturday’s game with cramps. Wall said he suffered from cramps because he didn’t eat before the game, and Calipari said he hasn’t suffered any ill effects in practice since then.”He was great in practice,” Calipari said. “He may be our hardest worker in practice, and he brought it yesterday the same way. He was fine. We played without him. We started off shaky, but kept the lead at 11 without him, which was a good sign. He went back in, and they came back on us. Obviously, he wasn’t 100 percent. But, I will tell you his energy is contagious, if you want it to be. If you choose to look at him and feed off him, it is contagious.”
