  "account": "LEXINGTON — Kentucky basketball is making progress in preparing for their 2026-27 season opener, which is just a month away. As reported at the program's media day on Monday, Sept. 28, four players are currently dealing with injuries. These players are Milan Momcilovic, Jerone Morton, Trent Noah, and Kam Williams.\n\nMomcilovic has a finger injury, Morton has a knee issue, Noah has a hamstring injury, and Williams has a foot problem. The good news is that Momcilovic is expected to be cleared to practice again next week without needing a splint on his hand. However, Morton's knee will be reevaluated later this month, and it is unclear when he will return to action. Noah and Williams are also hopeful to recover quickly, with the Wildcats aiming for Noah to be back in the next few weeks and Williams to be ready for the season opener against Manhattan on November 3rd at Rupp Arena.",
