Kentucky WBB guard Ajsa Sivka has finally arrived in Lexington

The last piece to Kenny Brooks‘ roster puzzle has arrived in the Bluegrass State.

Slovenian guard Ajsa Sivka (Eye-Shah SEEV-kah) finally made it to Kentucky’s campus on Wednesday. Of the 12 players on the 2026-27 women’s basketball roster, Sivka was the last to arrive. Most of the other 11 Wildcats moved into their new Lexington homes two weekends ago ahead of the start of practice, which began Monday, June 22.

While the 6-foot-4 Sivka came in a bit later than the rest of her teammates, she missed less than two weeks of summer practice. Getting her on campus sooner rather than later was always going to be important. She has a great chance to be an immediate impact player for Kentucky in 2026-27 on the wing.

“I am delighted to welcome Ajsša to our program,” Brooks said when Sivka signed with UK in early May. “Her combination of size and skill will fit into our system seamlessly. Ajša is a tremendous shooter, scorer, and playmaker from the wing position and she will add experience to our team. BBN let’s welcome Ajša to our family!”

Now all we’re waiting on is her grade classification. With the NCAA moving forward with the 5-in-5 rule, Sivka isn’t likely to be tabbed as a freshman despite being a new college player. On her Kentucky WBB player page, her class is listed as “TBD”.
