Kentucky coach Mark Pope said Monday that Milan Momcilovic is expected to be cleared for full practice next week after a shooting-hand finger injury limited him. The Iowa State transfer could be available for the Wildcats’ Oct. 16 exhibition against Little Rock.
Momcilovic severely jammed a finger on his shooting hand over the summer; some reports described it as broken. Kentucky posted a photo suggesting he was back at practice last week, although he had not been cleared for all activities.
Last season, Momcilovic averaged 16.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and one assist per game, shooting 50.6% overall and 48.7% on 7.5 three-point attempts per game. Kentucky opens regular-season play against Manhattan on Nov. 3.
