Kentucky guard Kerr Kriisa entered the transfer portal on Monday with one season of eligibility remaining.

“To Coach (Mark) Pope and the UK coaching staff – it has been an absolute dream to play for the University of Kentucky. Thank you for your continued support,” he posted on social media.

Kriisa was limited to just nine games (one start) in his lone season in Lexington before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in December that required surgery. He averaged 4.4 points, 3.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds.

Kriisa is familiar with the portal, having started his career at Arizona (2020-23) before spending 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 ended Friday with a 78-65 loss to Tennessee in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in Indianapolis.

“To my teammates — I am so thankful for the relationships we’ve formed during my time at Kentucky, and I will keep those friendships for a lifetime,” Kriisa wrote.

“To BBN (Big Blue Nation) — your unending support of me and my team has been amazing. Playing at Rupp Arena in front of huge crowds has been a dream come true.

“I will always cherish my time in the Blue Grass State, and I wish Kentucky basketball all the best in the future.”
