Jaxon News?

Apparently his wrist didn’t respond well to playing. That’s about all we know.
I think he sits the rest of the regular season. Then he will see how it goes in the SEC tourney.
He needs to sit until the NCAAT first round game and frankly most likely we’ll be able to steal even that first round game without him. Then we’ll have him when we really need him. For the five games we really really need him. Or at least we’ll have our best chance of having him then.
Pope didn’t listen to that advice so far (not that I had any way of telling him). And look where it’s gotten us. I just hope his intuition will somehow guide him into making that same decision on his own from here forward, before we wind up with even another setback in exchange for a questionable advantage in a game that means absolutely nothing in comparison to what those final five or six could mean if we get everybody as close to healthy as possible.

Pope saying today that Jaxson came out of that game “not so great”. Pope said Amari has ankle injury but had a pretty good day of practice yesterday and they will know more today.
This is the latest as of mid-afternoon on 2/28. When the injury report comes out later today, we might know a bit more, but I'll bet it will say something like probable. When the report comes out tomorrow, we'll have a much better idea.
Robinson is most likely out until the SECT at the earliest, and at that point he either has to play through pain or not
Let's say UK listens to your advice doctor, and he doesn't play until the 2nd round of the NCAA. Then he comes out, plays a half and the wrist reacts the same way and he's sitting again. What armchair theatrics will you provide then? There are no agendas here, no draft protections. They tried to see how the wrist would react in real game action and didn't react well so we're back to where we were. There were no guarantees. Like Butler's injury, this isn't a definitive time-table injury.
I'll give the nod to the UK sports medicine team over a message post poster but that's just me.
