NBA Wildcat Watch (Feb. 13-16)

From Tuesday through Friday, each time a former Wildcat hits the court, we will recap how they did and include a few highlights (if available). On Tuesdays, we’ll also recap what happened over the weekend, so you don’t miss the action. This will also serve as a discussion board. We will try to keep it updated as soon as the games are over, so check back often!

Here’s all the NBA action from the last couple of days. Shoutout to Donte DiVincenzo for hitting his 1,000th career point over the weekend, and another shoutout to Saddiq Bey for picking up Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors!

There are also four Wildcats playing on Tuesday night, check back later to see how they did!
