Fox News: Kentucky Drops Positive Injury Update on Jaxson Robinson and Lamont Butler
LEXINGTON, KY — The Kentucky Wildcats received some promising news as two of their key players, Jaxson Robinson and Lamont Butler, have provided an injury update that has Wildcats fans breathing a sigh of relief.
After months of uncertainty surrounding the pair’s recoveries, Kentucky head coach John Calipari confirmed on Friday that both Robinson and Butler are making excellent progress and are expected to be ready for the team’s upcoming stretch of games. This news comes after concerns about the duo’s availability for the remainder of the season due to various injuries.
Robinson, a guard who had been sidelined with a nagging knee injury, has been working hard in rehabilitation and is now cleared for full participation in team activities. His return is a huge boost for the Wildcats, who have missed his shooting ability and defensive presence on the court.
Butler, a standout forward for Kentucky, was recovering from a shoulder injury that had raised concerns about his long-term health. However, the Wildcats’ medical team has confirmed that his recovery is on track, and Butler is now expected to be in the lineup for their next game. His defensive prowess and versatility have made him a key player for Kentucky in their pursuit of a successful season.
Both players have been working closely with the team’s medical and training staff to ensure a safe return to action. Coach Calipari expressed confidence in their recovery timelines and believes they will both play pivotal roles as Kentucky heads into the final stretch of the season.
“We’re excited to have Jaxson and Lamont back,” Calipari said. “Both are integral parts of our team, and they bring a lot to the table on both ends of the floor. It’s great to see their hard work paying off, and we can’t wait to get them back on the court.”
Kentucky, currently ranked in the top 10, will be looking to make a strong push for the SEC title with Robinson and Butler back in action. The Wildcats’ next game is set for this weekend, where they will take on a tough opponent in the SEC, hoping to continue their climb toward a postseason berth.
