Kentucky Wildcats Basketball; Injury Updates on Key Players Ahead of Alabama Clash

2025-03-02

The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team received a positive update on the injury status of key players Lamont Butler and Jaxson Robinson ahead of their matchup against the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide. Head coach Mark Pope revealed that Butler, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury sustained in the win over Tennessee, will participate in modified live action during practice. Meanwhile, Robinson, recovering from a wrist sprain suffered before the South Carolina game, will engage in skill work. While Butler has a slim chance of playing against Alabama, his return is more likely in the following week. Robinson’s timeline remains uncertain, but he is expected to be back by the SEC Tournament at the latest.

The Wildcats faced Alabama without both players, resulting in a 96-83 loss. Koby Brea led Kentucky with 20 points, while Andrew Carr and Amari Williams contributed 17 points each. Alabama’s Mark Sears dominated with 30 points. The Wildcats struggled with foul trouble and turnovers, which hindered their ability to maintain an early lead. Despite the loss, Kentucky’s focus remains on the recovery of Butler and Robinson as they prepare for the upcoming SEC Tournament.
