By ADAM ZAGORIA
Villanova took a double-hit over the weekend when guards Acaden Lewis and Bryce Lindsay both announced their plans to enter the transfer portal.
Lewis, a freshman who flipped to Villanova from Kentucky, is also testing the NBA Draft waters.
“I will be declaring for the 2026 NBA Draft, while maintaining my college eligibility and entering the transfer portal,” Lewis wrote on social media.
