LEXINGTON — Kentucky basketball forward Trent Noah exited the game against Nicholls on Tuesday due to an injury and didn't return.

During a news conference Thursday, UK coach Mark Pope said Noah should "be back soon." Pope said Noah likely wouldn't practice Thursday.

"I don't know if he'll be available (Friday)," Pope said, referring to the team's game versus Valparaiso at Rupp Arena . "I'm guessing maybe that's probably a toss-up whether he will be or not. I'm probably leaning (toward) saving him and just trying to get him healthy."
