Wheeler missed much of the 2022-23 season with injuries, averaging 7.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 5.6 assists.

During his junior season, Wheeler was a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award and led the SEC in assists.

John Calipari released a statement on Twitter confirming Wheeler’s departure.

I talked with Sahvir a few days ago and he decided that he wants to graduate and play one more year because of the injuries he faced this year. He also wanted a fresh start, and I supported his decision. Sahvir has been a big part of our team and we wish him nothing but the best.
