Be sure to keep former Wildcat James Young in your thoughts and prayers, as he is dealing with the passing of his grandmother.

Head coach John Calipari said that Young was very close to his grandmother. Young spent one season at Kentucky (2013-2014) and has had an up and down NBA career to this point.

I’m heartbroken to hear @realjamesyoung’s grandmother has passed away. I know how close James was with her. Sending condolences to James’ family and saying a prayer for them today.
