Kentucky sports and beyond.
Welcome to the association, Chuck Hayes. The ex-UK forward signed a 10-day contract with the Houston Rockets yesterday and played last night against the Dallas Mavericks. He played 14 minutes, scored two points and grabbed two rebounds. Here’s a link to the Houston Chronicle story. Here’s also his player file.

Good for him. I’m not even a UK fan and I am truly excited for him. The state of the UK team this year shows just how valuable Hayes is and was.
