Oweh leads Kentucky against LSU after 22-point game

Kentucky plays the LSU Tigers after Otega Oweh scored 22 points in the Wildcats' 92-68 win against the Mississippi State Bulldogs

6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

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.

Jayden Quaintance - Progressing through knee injury Quaintance (knee) is progressing through his injury and reportedly feeling better, per KSR.

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.

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.
