Kentucky Faces Major Setback as Jaxson Robinson Out for Season Following Wrist Surgery Decision

The Wildcats struggle with injuries and suffer a crushing 94-78 home loss to Auburn, their worst of the season, as March Madness approaches.

Kentucky guard Jaxson Robinson has been ruled out for the season and will undergo wrist surgery on March 5 after re-aggravating a torn subsheath in his ECU tendon.
Robinson, a key offensive contributor averaging 13 points per game and shooting 38% from three, had attempted to play through the injury but reinjured his wrist against Oklahoma.
The Wildcats suffered a 94-78 loss to Auburn, marking their worst home defeat of the season and Auburn's first win at Rupp Arena since 1988.
Head coach Mark Pope took responsibility for the team's poor performance, citing issues with turnovers, defensive execution, and limited lineup options due to injuries.
Kentucky, now 19-10 overall and 8-8 in the SEC, faces Senior Night against LSU next as they aim to regroup before the SEC Tournament and NCAA March Madness.
