Kentucky guard Kerr Kriisa announced on Monday that he has entered the transfer portal, with one season of eligibility remaining. On social media, he expressed gratitude to Coach Mark Pope and the UK coaching staff, saying, “It has been an absolute dream to play for the University of Kentucky. Thank you for your continued support.” Kriisa, who played just nine games (one start) during his lone season at Kentucky, was sidelined by a foot injury in December that required surgery, ending his season. He averaged 4.4 points, 3.8 assists, and 2.4 rebounds. Prior to Kentucky, Kriisa played for Arizona (2020-23) and then spent the 2023-24 season at West Virginia. The Estonia native has career averages of 9.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.3 rebounds in 108 games (94 starts). Kentucky’s season concluded on Friday with a 78-65 loss to Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. Kriisa also thanked his teammates, writing, “I am so thankful for the relationships we’ve formed during my time at Kentucky, and I will keep those friendships for a lifetime.” He further expressed appreciation for Big Blue Nation (BBN), saying, “Your unending support has been amazing. Playing at Rupp Arena in front of huge crowds has been a dream come true.” He concluded by stating, “I will always cherish my time in the Blue Grass State, and I wish Kentucky basketball all the best in the future.” –Field Level Media
