Kentucky Guard Jaland Lowe Out for Season After Shoulder Surgery Decision

After three dislocations this season, Pope set a six-month rehab plan with a medical redshirt possible.

Overview

  • Mark Pope announced Monday on his weekly radio show that Lowe will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
  • Lowe re-injured the same shoulder three minutes into Saturday’s win over Mississippi State after earlier incidents in the Blue-White scrimmage, against N.C. Central and against St. John’s.
  • The recovery is expected to take roughly six months, and Lowe’s nine games played position him to seek a medical redshirt.
  • Kentucky loses its only natural point guard, with Otega Oweh, Denzel Aberdeen and freshman Jasper Johnson expected to take on more ball-handling.
  • Lowe, a transfer from Pittsburgh, averaged 8.0 points and 2.4 assists in limited action as the Wildcats sit 10-6 (1-2 SEC) and head to LSU on Wednesday before visiting Tennessee.
