LEXINGTON, Ky. — One of the most decorated Kentucky basketball players in recent memory might be leaving the Wildcats’ program after two seasons in Lexington. But he has left the door open for a return to Lexington.
Oscar Tshiebwe announced Friday afternoon that he plans to enter the 2023 NBA draft, though he still has one season of NCAA eligibility remaining and has not ruled out a return to college basketball.
“At this time I feel as though it is best for me to declare for the NBA Draft while maintaining my college eligibility,” Tshiebwe said in an Instagram post. “As I continue down this path I pray that I can continue to have the amazing love and support of BBN as you will always be in my heart and prayers. Only God knows what my future holds, but until then it’s time to get to work!”
