Kentucky Wildcats coach Mark Pope told ESPN that both Jaxson Robinson and Lamont Butler will both be “genuine game-time decisions” for Saturday’s SEC matchup with South Carolina Gamecocks at noon on ESPN.
Pope said Robinson had a “brutal collision” in practice Friday and injured his wrist. While Robinson did not suffer a fracture, the senior guard does not have “great mobility,” according to Pope.
Butler has been out with a shoulder issue since Jan. 25. He missed the last three games but was cleared for non-contact practice on Thursday.
Robinson (13.6 ppg) and Butler (13.2) are 2nd and 3rd on the team in scoring, respectively.
