Zvonimir Ivisic is sick and will not be here tonight.
"104 temperature," according to John Calipari on the pregame radio interview.
Not sure about the "104" part, but I'm told that Ivisic is legitimately sick. He also wasn't here for a previous game due to food poisoning.— Ben Roberts (@BenRobertsHL) November 24, 2023
