Still have some basketball fever even after last night’s Big Blue Madness spectacle? Don’t worry. Some former UK stars can help fix that for you tonight.

John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Willie Cauley-Stein and Skal Labissiere are all in Lexington for some NBA preseason action as the Washington Wizards (Wall) take on the Sacramento Kings (Cousins, Cauley-Stein, Labissiere) in Rupp Arena tonight at 7 p.m.

Wall, Cousins and Cauley-Stein were headline attractions at yesterday’s Madness event, laughing and smiling along with their former head coach John Calipari and addressing the Big Blue Nation crowd.

Former UK bigman and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns is also back in Kentucky as his Minnesota Timberwolves face the Miami Heat at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville at 7:30 p.m. Towns wasted no time in expressing which Bluegrass city his heart is in as soon as he arrived into the state either.

So don’t worry, you crazed fan. Basketball has finally returned to Kentucky.
