Kentucky basketball is finally getting one of their big men back.

Aaron Bradshaw, a 7-foot-1, 226-pound five star freshman, is expected to return to practice today, per KSR’s Sources Say podcast.

Bradshaw has sat out the first five games of the season recovering from surgery, but now that he’s ready to go, there’s a small chance he could be ready to go against Miami next week.

Of course, there’s the possibility of Coach John Calipari not wanting make Bradshaw’s debut against one of the more difficult opponents Kentucky has on their schedule – so an appearance against UNC Wilmington on December 2nd or vs Penn on December 9th seems more likely.

Now that Bradshaw has returned to Kentucky’s lineup, it makes things significantly easier on veteran Tre Mitchell, who has been the Wildcats’ primary center despite being a tweener between the four and the five at 6-foot-9. The Wildcats would certainly love some more height outside of Mitchell in their frontcourt.
