The Kentucky men’s basketball Twitter account posted some pictures of the team departing for Greensboro and the NCAA Tournament this afternoon.
Fans noticed quickly that one of the pictures features senior point guard Sahvir Wheeler front and center.
Is this a hint that Wheeler is returning to action after being out due to injury since February 4?

John Calipari noted on his call-in show Monday that everyone practiced, which would indicate that Wheeler was taking part.
“That’s why he’s got to practice for three days. He’s got to show us that he’s what he needed to be,” Calipari said when asked about Wheeler. “And I said there’s nothing that would make me happier than for him to impact a game, then everybody say ‘man if we had this dude all year, what would we have been?’
“Because when we struggled, a lot of it was guard play.”
