Quade Green Reunites with Kentucky Alumni for Summer Showdown Against Louisville Rivals

The former Wildcat will play for La Familia in a best‑of‑three series this July, featuring former teammates and a glimpse of his global career.

Former Kentucky guard Quade Green is set to don the colors of La Familia, the state‑wide alumni squad, as they prepare for a best‑of‑three showdown against The Ville, the Louisville alumni collective, this summer.

The series opens on July 18 at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, with Game 2 slated for July 20 at Freedom Hall in Louisville. If a third game becomes necessary, it will be scheduled for July 22, contingent on ticket demand.

Green, a McDonald’s All‑American in 2017 who starred for the Wildcats from 2017 to 2019, brings a five‑year professional résumé that includes stints in the G League, Venezuela, Scotland, Kosovo, Mexico and most recently with the Suke Lions in China during the 2025‑26 season.

His college journey also saw him transfer to the University of Washington for his final two seasons of eligibility, where he appeared in 43 games with 13 starts, showcasing the versatility that has defined his career.

The matchup will feature a reunion of former Wildcats teammates, including Andrew Harrison, Kahlil Whitney, Willie Cauley‑Stein, Reid Travis and Archie Goodwin, all of whom are expected to be on the court for The Ville.

A Summer of Reunion and Rivalry

Fans can expect a high‑energy atmosphere as the two Kentucky‑based alumni teams trade blows, with the first two games anchored in Lexington and Louisville, venues steeped in basketball history.

Should Game 3 be required, organizers have indicated it will be played on July 22, a date that could see the series conclude at a yet‑to‑be‑confirmed location, pending ticket sales.
