Kentucky Wildcat News: Injury onslaught continues for UK Basketball
The injuries have already started.
Good morning BBN! The Kentucky Wildcats basketball season kickoff is just around the corner as the Cats prepare to face off against opponents at Rupp Arena on Friday night for Big Blue Madness. Despite Mark Pope's first two seasons being a mix of highs and lows, one constant has been the team's injury issues. Last season, Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance were out for the entire year, while Kam Williams and Mo Dioubate also missed significant time.
Before this season begins, several Cats have already dealt with injuries. Williams is still recovering from his second foot surgery, Milan Momcilovic injured his shooting hand finger, Trent Noah suffered a significant hamstring tear, and now Jerone Moton has joined the list with a knee injury sustained during practice. While none of the injuries appear to be serious enough to impact the regular season, the fact that they've already started is certainly disconcerting.
It's time to stop using "bad luck" as an excuse and hope that all the players can stay healthy and give Pope his first completely healthy team during his tenure.
