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.

Status remains in question Lowe (shoulder) was reportedly in some pain Sunday after he got banged up in the win over Mississippi State and his status remains up in the air for Wednesday at LSU, per Ryan Blac...

Impact Lowe only played three minutes in the Wildcats' win over Mississippi State on Saturday before injuring his shoulder. The junior guard notched his second start in a row, but is now a question mark for Kentucky's next game against LSU. Lowe has already missed seven games this season and has been in and out of the lineup; if head coach Mark Pope and company have to prepare for another game without him, it'll be nothing new.

Impact This is not the first time Lowe suffers a shoulder injury this season, and it's unclear how Kentucky will proceed with the star point guard. Head coach Mark Pope said all options are on the table when it comes to Lowe's recovery, according to Pharis. "All options are on the table... It could be no games, it could be a few games, it could be all the games. You want to protect their future, but you don't want to steal their present."

Starts, scores nine Lowe amassed nine points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 73-68 loss to Missouri.

Impact As expected, Lowe moved into the starting lineup. He struggled from the field against the Tigers after scoring 21 points in the loss to Alabama on Saturday. The Pitt transfer has not topped three assists since returning from a shoulder injury. He may need to concentrate on setting up his teammates because his 3-point shot is not going down (20.8 percent). The Wildcats will go for their first SEC win on Saturday against Mississippi State.

Impact Head coach Mark Pope said that Lowe's absence against Bellarmine was more for rest purposes, offering the guard a few extra days to heal from a nagging shoulder injury. Pope followed up by saying he expects Lowe to play in every game, which means maintenance days won't be a regular occurrence for the talented point guard. Lowe is averaging 7.0 points, 3.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 18.2 minutes per game this season.

Sparks Kentucky with 13 points Lowe supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes during Saturday's 78-66 win over St. John's.

Impact Lowe left the game in the first half with a shoulder injury, but returned in the second half to organize the offense and penetrate the Red Storm defense. Kentucky was held to 25 points in the first half without Lowe, then doubled that total. It was apparent that the Wildcats needed a point guard and the shoulder injury was not as serious as it first appeared. The Pitt transfer should join the starting lineup as long as his health holds up.

Impact Lowe looked like he reinjured the shoulder that caused him to miss five games earlier in the season. The team scored just 25 points in the first half and the offense looked out of sorts. While credit should be given to the Red Storm defense, the team looks like it needs a field general like the Pitt transfer.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves game with shoulder injury Lowe left Saturday's game against St. John's almost immediately after getting on the court with what appeared to be a recurrence of his shoulder injury.

Impact Lowe played less than a minute before leaving the game. He missed five games earlier in the season with the shoulder injury, but provided a spark against Indiana last Saturday with 13 points. He was replaced by Jasper Johnson.
