Today’s comeback win over St. John’s shows just how important Jayden Quaintance and Jaland Lowe are to this Kentucky Basketball team. With one coming back from an ACL injury suffered nine months ago and one still fighting a shoulder injury, even in this game, their health is paramount to the success of the season.
Appropriately, the people behind getting Quaintance and Lowe back on the court joined them at the postgame press conference. Quaintance, senior athletic trainer Brandon Wells, head strength coach Randy Towner, and assistant coach Mikhail McLean each sported “We Workin'” t-shirts with Quaintance’s likeness on them, a special gift from Wells for Quaintance’s debut, nine months after he tore his ACL.
