First career double-double Jackson managed 18 points (5-8 FG, 8-11 FT), 11 rebounds and two blocks during Saturday's win over Auburn.

Impact The freshman finally came alive during his fourth straight start by dropping a career high offensively while leading the Wildcats on the boards to mark his first double-double. In now 19 appearances, Jackson is posting 7.2 points and 6.7 rebounds while shooting 68 percent at the stripe.

Heading back to bench Jackson will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against Georgia.

Impact Jackson started the last game after coming off the bench in the prior three contests. The freshman is averaging 6.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game this season.

Rejoins starting lineup Jackson will start Saturday's game against Auburn.

Impact Jackson was moved to the bench after struggling against Mississippi State on Jan 2 but has turned in 23 points, 12 boards and a whopping 11 blocks over the last two contests. That production has earned him another look with the starting group, which could also result in some more minutes.

Shot-blocking run continues Jackson had 14 points (3-5 FG, 8-10 FT), seven blocks, six rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 85-65 loss to Alabama.

Impact Jackson has been in and out of the starting lineup this season and could potentially see his role reduced with the return of Keion Brooks, but he recorded arguably his best fantasy game of the season in an up-tempo matchup against Alabama. He didn't get enough help from his supporting cast to knock off a short-handed Crimson Tide team, but the blocks total alone makes him a fantasy option in SEC rotisserie formats. He currently leads the conference with 3.2 rejections per contest.

Records seven points in loss Jackson recorded seven points (2-6 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and two steals in Saturday's loss against Louisville.

Impact After a promising start to the season, the freshman has cooled down especially on the offensive end of the floor. Jackson is averaging just 6.0 points while shooting 43 percent overall and 59 percent at the line. The forward has made his presence felt on the glass though, grabbing 8.4 rebounds per contest.

Dominates boards in loss Jackson (ankle) had six points, 14 rebounds and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 76-64 loss to Richmond.

Impact Jackson went through warmups without a problem but was still emitted from the starting lineup. The 6-10 freshman ended up being a force on defense as he collected a game-high 14 rebounds and also had a pair of big blocks. It would be a surprise if Jackson doesn't find himself back in the starting five for Tuesday's showdown against Kansas.

Not starting Sunday Despite going through warmups, Jackson (ankle) is not in Sunday's starting lineup against Richmond as he will be replaced by Cam'Ron Fletcher, Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald-...

Impact Jackson went through warmups with the rest of the team without any issue but coach John Calipari may feel more comfortable saving him for an emergency situation only or potentially giving him a minutes restriction. No further report has been released about his status for the game.

Going through warmups Jackson (ankle) apparently looks "just fine" in warmups ahead of Sunday's game against Richmond, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jackson rolled his ankle in Wednesday's blowout victory over Moreland State but his status for Sunday's game was never in much doubt. Jackson figures to make his second career start as long as everything in warmups goes smoothly.

Sustains minor ankle injury Jackson tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's win over Moreland State, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach John Calipari believes Jackson will be fine moving forward, but it's worth keeping an eye on with a Friday matchup against Detroit looming. In his Kentucky debut, Jackson posted nine points, four rebounds and an assist over 17 minutes.
