John Calipari released a statement via Facebook and Twitter today with an update on freshman forward Nerlens Noel. Noel had surgery yesterday to repair a torn ACL suffered against Florida last month.
Got a call from @nerlensnoel3 yesterday & put it on speakerphone so he could talk to the team. The surgery went well and he's doing fine.

It was great for his teammates to hear from him after surgery and I think it helped Nerlens too. I can't wait to see him back on the court.
