Won't play Friday Lowe (shoulder) is inactive for Friday's game against Eastern Illinois, Darrell Bird of 247sports reports.

Impact Lowe injured his shoulder in practice Thursday, and he'll be out for Friday night's matchup with Eastern Illinois. Specifics regarding Lowe's injury are unknown, but his next chance to play will come Tuesday against Michigan State. In the meantime, look for Collin Chandler and Jasper Johnson to see more action.

Impact Lowe suffered a shoulder injury leading up to the regular season, and he aggravated the shoulder in practice this week. It appears as though Kentucky will hold the point guard out of Friday's contest. The severity of Lowe's injury remains uncertain, but if he doesn't play Friday, his next chance to play would come Tuesday against Michigan State. Collin Chandler and Jasper Johnson would be in line for more minutes if Lowe sits.

Re-injures shoulder in practice Lowe re-injured his shoulder in practice, per Jack Pilgrim of KSR.

Impact Lowe missed the Wildcats' opener with a shoulder ailment, and now, the starting point guard in Lexington appears to have re-aggravated his injury. That makes him a question mark for Friday against Eastern Illinois. Lowe still has yet to start for the Wildcats as he works his way back, but this appears to have thrown a wrench in the guard's recovery.

Jaland Lowe showed Friday night he may be Kentucky's most valuable offensive player Jaland Lowe makes this Wildcats team a lot better, especially on offense, when he’s on the floor.

Returns with five assists off bench Lowe finished Friday's 107-59 win over Valparaiso with six points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 18 minutes.

Impact Lowe (shoulder) missed the opener against Nicholls, but was able to come off the bench against the Crusaders. The 6-1 junior will work his way into the starting lineup eventually. The transfer Pitt is probably the best passer on the Wildcat squad and average 5.5 assists with Pitt last season. If he is hanging out on a waiver wire, it might be a great time to snap Lowe up.

Not part of starting lineup Lowe is not part of Friday's starting lineup against Valparaiso.

Impact Kentucky will ease Lowe into action Friday. The lineup omission likely indicates that he will be limited against Valparaiso, considering the team is an easier opponent before UKY's in-state clash scheduled Tuesday at Louisville. The non-start will mark Lowe's first bench appearance since his 2023-24 season.

Available vs. Valparaiso Lowe (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against Valparaiso, Jack Pilgrim of On3.com reports.

Impact Lowe missed the season opener against Nicholls State on Monday but was expected to be available for this contest. Lowe was a stud with Pittsburgh in 2024-25, averaging 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and he figures to play a massive role with Kentucky in his junior year.

Expected to play Friday Lowe (shoulder) is expected to play on Friday against Valparaiso, per Jeff Drummond of Rivals.com.

Impact Lowe reportedly practiced in full Thursday and is expected to be a go for the Wildcats' second game of the season. Kentucky handily won its opener without Lowe, but the star point guard's return would be extremely welcome. Last season with Pittsburgh, Lowe averaged 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists.

No. 9 Kentucky controls the second half to beat Nicholls 77-51 in season opener

Won't play in opener Lowe (shoulder) won't be available for Kentucky's clash with Nicholls State, per Jeff Goodman of On3.com.

Impact Lowe was deemed a game-time call, but it appears the Wildcats' star guard has been ruled out the morning of Kentucky's opener. Lowe was banged up throughout the preseason and sat out exhibition contests but was still considered a possibility for the opener against Nicholls. With Denzel Aberdeen a game-time call as well, it's unclear who will run point for Kentucky Tuesday night.

Looking like game-time decision Lowe (shoulder) is looking like a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against Nicholls State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Kentucky's head coach Mark Pope recently told Rothstein that he is unsure of whether or not Lowe will be available when the 2025-26 Wildcats begin their regular season. Even though they will be one of few teams logging their regular-season opener after Monday, it looks like his availability is going to be pushed to the wire. Lowe's role may be secured, but he may firmly establish it Tuesday, especially if Denzel Aberdeen (leg) is out then.

Out for exhibition game Lowe (shoulder) is out for Thursday's exhibition game against Georgetown, Andrew Stefaniak of SI.com reports.

Impact Lowe will remain sidelined through Kentucky's final exhibition game as the team prepares for the 2025-26 season. The 6-foot-3 junior suffered the shoulder injury two weeks ago during a scrimmage. His absence Thursday will hopefully provide him with enough rest to play in the Wildcats' season opener against Nicholls State.

DNP in exhibition opener Lowe (shoulder) did not take the court in a 78-65 exhibition victory over Purdue on Oct. 24.

Impact Lowe suffered a shoulder injury during a scrimmage one week before the exhibition opener, so it's not too surprising to see the Pitt transfer sit out a relatively inconsequential tune-up game. Otega Oweh (10 points) and Denzel Aberdeen (nine points) made up the starting backcourt in Lowe's stead, while Trent Noah (10 points) got the nod at small forward. Lowe has another chance to suit up in exhibition play Oct. 30 against Georgetown in advance of the Nov. 4 season opener against Nicholls.

Impact Lowe is expected to be one of the top guards in the nation, so this is far from encouraging news with the start of the regular season roughly two weeks away. The next few days will be key to determining whether Lowe will be able to play in the regular-season opener against Nicholls State on Nov. 4.
