Kentucky basketball fans will get more chances to watch five-star recruit Chris Livingston on ESPN later this week.

Livingston, who signed with the Wildcats in November, will play three high-profile games across ESPN’s family of networks starting Thursday afternoon. The 6-foot-7 wing and his Oak Hill Academy (Va.) squad will first face Wasatch Academy (Utah) at 1 p.m. Thursday on ESPNU. Oak Hill then plays La Lumiere (Ind.) at 7 p.m. Friday and Bishop Walsh (Md.) at 3 p.m. Saturday, with the latter two games streaming live on ESPN Plus.

Livingston is the No. 5 overall player in the 2022 class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, and he’s projected as an immediate starter on Kentucky’s team for the 2022-23 season.

It was revealed Wednesday night that Kentucky signee Skyy Clark will also make his season debut Thursday evening in a game that will be televised at 5 p.m. on ESPNU.
