Kentucky Wildcats guard Jaxson Robinson has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a significant wrist injury. Head coach Mark Pope announced that Robinson will undergo surgery next Wednesday to repair a torn sub-sheath in his right wrist’s ECU tendon.
- Robinson initially injured his wrist during a practice session before the Tennessee game, colliding with teammate Brandon Garrison. He missed four games but attempted a comeback in Kentucky’s recent matchup against the Oklahoma Sooners. Unfortunately, his wrist did not respond well, leading to the decision for surgery.
The injury marks a premature end to Robinson’s collegiate career, as he is a fifth-year senior who transferred with Coach Pope from BYU to Kentucky. His absence is a significant blow to the Wildcats, who are already dealing with other injuries, including guard Lamont Butler’s shoulder issues.
The Wildcats now face the challenge of adjusting their lineup and strategy as they approach the final stretch of the season without one of their key contributors.
