Injuries aren’t the main reason why Kentucky is off to a poor 5-4 start this season, but they certainly aren’t helping.
Luckily, the Wildcats appear to be turning the corner a bit with player health. After not playing since Nov. 11 following a second shoulder injury, starting point guard Jaland Lowe made his return against Gonzaga on Friday. Lowe still came off the bench in that 35-point loss to the Bulldogs, only posting one point and one rebound on 0-5 shooting in 14 minutes.
But Lowe has also only played a total of 62 minutes across three games played this season.
