Tyler Ulis was a first-team All-American in 2016, winning the SEC Player of the Year award and the Bob Cousy Award that season for Kentucky.

He then went on to be a second-round pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, going to the Phoenix Suns.

On Sunday, Ulis shared photos of himself on Instagram after he was reportedly involved in a serious car crash. As you can see below, Ulis has casts on both arms and one of his legs:

Per Ulis and his dad, the former Wildcat is expected to make a full recovery:

Ulis’s former coach, John Calipari, took to Twitter to praise his former star point guard:

Thankfully, Ulis seems to be in good spirits and should be able to recover from his injuries. It’s clear he’s still a very popular person in Lexington.
