Courtside with the Kentucky Wildcats

Former Kentucky guard Brandon Knight, the first-round draft choice of the Detroit Pistons Thursday, will throw out the first pitch at the Detroit Tigers’ game against Arizona Friday night.
Surely Knight will have no problem surpassing the recent first-pitch attempt of John Wall, his immediate predecessor as UK point guard.
Knight will throw out the ceremonial first pitch around 7 p.m.
