Lance Ware, Kareem Watkins Traveling to Brazil with Sports Reach

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky men's basketball players Lance Ware and Kareem Watkins will travel to Brazil with Sports Reach for a 10-day outreach trip that combines competition with service to local communities.
 
The Kentucky duo will travel to the likes of São Paulo, Campinas and Valinhos to compete in at least four games, while also conducting several clinics for local Brazilians. Included in the competition is a game against Paul Metters, one of São Paulo's top clubs.
 
Ware has seen action in 49 games and made three starts over his two-year career. He was named to the 2021-22 Southeastern Conference Community Service Team, while setting career highs in points scored, blocks and field-goal percentage during his sophomore campaign. The Camden, New Jersey native played a season-high 16 minutes in the SEC Tournament Semifinals against Tennessee and snared six rebounds. Another key performance this season came in the upset win at Kansas where Ware had four points and four rebounds in 10 effective minutes.
