Freshman point guard Eric Bledsoe is likely out for Friday’s exhibition game against Clarion with a sprained ankle, head coach John Calipari said Thursday.

Calipari didn’t completely rule out Bledsoe for Friday’s game, but he hinted that they would likely rest him as precautionary measure for the regular-season opener vs. Morehead State on Nov. 13.

Fellow point guard John Wall will make his UK debut Friday night after sitting out the Campbellsville game because of NCAA suspension. He will have to sit out the regular-season opener for the second and final game of his suspension, meaning he and Bledsoe will likely not suit up together until Nov. 16 against Miami (Ohio).

Bledsoe totaled nine points, four assists, four rebounds and four steals in his UK debut.
