Oweh leads Kentucky against LSU after 22-point game

Jaland Lowe - Set for season-ending surgery Lowe will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, per Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio.

Impact Lowe missed six of the Wildcats first eight games, but appeared to be on the right track in recent weeks, having sat out just one of the last eight games. However, he banged up his shoulder against Mississippi State, throwing his status back into question. Now, it's official: the guard will undergo a season-ending operation on his shoulder. The Pitt transfer appeared primed to thrive in Lexington, but Lowe will have to wait until the 2026-27 season to contribute.

Impact Quaintance missed the Wildcats' win over Mississippi State, his 12th total absence this season. The forward has played in just four games in 2025-26, but he's reportedly progressing through his knee ailment and should be trending towards making a recovery sooner rather than later. Still, we have no time-table for the sophomore forward's return.
