Kentucky reserve sophomore forward Willie Cauley-Stein is doubtful to play in Saturday's National Semifinals game against Wisconsin.

Cauley-Stein injured his left ankle in the Wildcats' Sweet 16 victory against Louisville and did not play in the Elite Eight win over Michigan.

"I doubt he plays," Kentucky coach John Calipari said on a conference call Monday, via CBSSports.com. "He will be on our bench, cheering like crazy."

Cauley-Stein averaged seven points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks this season.
