Jaxson Robinson will undergo season-ending wrist surgery next week

Kentucky will be without Jaxson Robinson for the rest of the season. Mark Pope just announced that Robinson will undergo surgery on his right wrist next week, ending his career as a Kentucky Wildcat.

“Jax is — we kind of came to the final conclusion last night that he’s going to get surgery. So he’s going Wednesday to the world specialist to have surgery on his wrist. He’s got a torn sub-sheath to his ECU tendon. And so what’s happening is it’s slipping out, and when he went down, we kind of knew that he was going to need surgery, but he just wanted so badly to play that he rehabbed it and had an injection to try and make it functional.

“And then he was doing okay. And then he went down the first half at Oklahoma, so, it’s in a groove, and there’s a sheath around it that holds it in place, and that’s just ripped, just that the distal side is just ripped a little bit. And so now it’s coming out of the groove. And after the head, it actually, really relocated a little more, and it’s and there’s just no way that he’s gonna be able to play.

“So the good news is that he’ll go have the surgery with literally the world’s number one surgeon doing this particular procedure and it’s a three-month to 100% full recovery. So he’ll be good to go the first of June, the end of May and continue on with his great basketball career.”
