Jaxson Robinson offically ruled OUT against Auburn

Jaxson Robinson has officially been ruled OUT for Saturday’s game.

The SEC released its pregame Availability Report on Friday night, noting that both Robinson and backup point guard Kerr Kriisa will not play against the top-ranked Auburn Tigers. Robinson saw 12 minutes of action in the first half of Kentucky’s last game against Oklahoma, but sat out in the second half due to a wrist injury that had held him out of the previous four games.

Kriisa has not played since Dec. 7 due to a foot injury. Auburn did not have any players listed on the report.

During his Friday press conference, head coach Mark Pope provided very minor injury updates on a handful of Kentucky players. But of the four names he mentioned, only Robinson will be unable to go against the Tigers.

“Lamont (Butler) came out great, Jaxson not so great, Andrew Carr came out really well,” Pope said early Friday afternoon. “Amari (Williams) seems like he had a decent day yesterday, we’ll know more about him today. So a little bit of a mixed bag.”

Not having Robinson against the No. 1 team in the country is obviously not ideal for the ‘Cats, but the good news is no other names appeared on the Availability Report. Butler, Carr, and Williams will all suit up barring a last-minute hiccup. A final report will be released roughly two hours prior to tipoff. Kentucky hosts Auburn inside Rupp Arena tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. EST on ABC.
