Kentucky transfer Jemarl Baker Jr. has been granted a waiver by the NCAA and will be eligible to play for the Arizona Wildcats in 2019-20 instead of having to sit out a year.

Baker averaged 2.3 points per game in 28 contests at Kentucky last season. He will provide shooting and scoring on the wing, and could possibly start at the 2, helping Arizona make up for the loss of Brandon Williams, who is out for the year after undergoing knee surgery.

We are excited to have Jemarl Baker eligible to play this season. We would like to thank the NCAA for their consideration of Jemarl’s unique situation, and we appreciate the University of Kentucky’s support throughout this process. #BearDown
