Following a 94-78 loss to the Auburn Tigers, where Kentucky was never really that competitive, there was a double dose of bad news.
Mark Pope announced that Jaxson Robinson will miss the remainder of the season.
Robinson who injured his wrist in practice earlier this month, returned to action on Wednesday against Oklahoma, but fell and reinjured the wrist after only 12 minutes of action. That fall was ultimately what ended his season.
“We came to the final conclusion last night that he’s going to get surgery,” Pope started. “He is going Wednesday, to the world specialist, to have surgery on his wrist.”
“He’s got a torn sub-sheath to his ECU tendon. What’s happening is that it is slipping out and when went down we kinda knew he was going to need surgery, but he just wanted so badly to play. He rehabbed it and had an injection to try and make it functional. He was doing okay, then he went down in the first half at Oklahoma.”
“There is no way that he going to be able to play.”
