Kentucky fans got a brief look at CJ Fredrick last week when the sharpshooting transfer guard won the 3-point shootout at Big Blue Madness in Rupp Arena, but even the UK coaching staff hasn’t had the chance to see Fredrick play live much.

Frederick has had a lingering leg injury and was thought to have returned last month, but UK coach John Calipari said during Wednesday’s Media Day that Fredrick first practiced in live competition yesterday, briefly.

“CJ’s been hurt,” Calipari said. “But he can really shoot the ball, and I can’t wait until we can get him on the court. He’s been on the court just 15 minutes, so we haven’t seen him.”

Fredrick, who connected on 47% of his 3-pointers during two years at Iowa, said he’s participated in non-contact drills and is slowly getting back into live work.

“I’m pretty much back,” Fredrick said. “It’s just at this point, taking a little bit of time off. You just have to be smart with your body.”
