Freshman Patrick Patterson’s visit to a Lexington hospital Monday evening caused a stir of speculation.
Patterson had an upper respiratory infection, UK spokesman Scott Stricklin said yesterday.
Lloyd McGuffin, who coached Patterson at Huntington (W.Va.) High School, said he got a good report from the player’s mother.
“She said he’s fine,” McGuffin said. “Everything’s fine.”
McGuffin predicted a speedy recovery. “He’s a warrior, man,” the coach said. “He’ll be back in no time flat.”
