Kerr out 3-6 weeks
- Thread starter Sejonesy
- Start date
Best wishes to Kerr for a quick recovery.
Hopefully Perry can give us some spot minutes at point guard. Hopefully he can get some extended run in the Colgate game.
I look to see more Robinson at point as well when Butler needs a spell.

I don’t think he will have much of an impact anymore this year unfortunately
Any of the young men ready to step up?
That's a tough hit he's our energy guy.
Another guy needs to step up and be the leader while he's out.

Not great, but not the worst. At least we'll have him back for February/March.
I’m sure he will bring attitude from the bench! Exactly what I was afraid of though. Dang it. Get better soon Kerr, we need ya buddy for the stretch! This puts him back prolly end of January.
It's being called a "Jones fracture" timeline I see is 3-4 months?
Could actually be a positive development for the long run.
When Butler needs a breather, my guess is we’ll see more of the lineup with Jax at PG
PG - Jax
SG - Oweh
SF - Brea
Chandler and Perry providing spot minutes at SG/PG
This. JR looked good running the point.
Maybe KK can be back for sec play in January.
Hate it for Kerr, I thought he played pretty good last night. Perry is going to have to grow up quick.
This sucks. You know he wanted a piece of little brother
I look for Perry to get his 1st and maybe only start of his Kentucky career against Colgate. No since I’m rushing butler back, and no sense in running Robinson out there for the point against Colgate
Man we seem to have bad luck with injuries.
Yeah 3-6 weeks sounds pretty optimistic from what I've read about it.
And still went and played D! Get well soon Kerr
I know ughh he is perfect for that game.
I obliterated my scaphoid (wrist) many years ago and the fracture was in a spot with poor blood flow. Recovery was 3-4 months, but that was because we tried to let it heal on its own.
The bone started to atrophy, so the next options were to screw the bone fragments together and/or graft healthy bone to it.
Sounds like UK isn't playing any of that wait-and-see BS. Once I had surgery, recovery was 4 weeks in a cast and 2 more weeks with a brace.
Edit: timeline. Sorry! Also, I bring up this experience because one of the hallmarks of the Jones fracture is poor blood flow to a bone near a major joint.

It’s unreal. We absolutely can never catch a break when it comes to injuries.
I think Chandler is gonna be getting a lot more minutes now. Jaxson is the backup point now.
Hate to see that. Let’s get Perry some minutes and see how he does.
I would almost guarantee they will be screwing it either way to a plate or something and starting the process ASAP. He will get the best treatment daily for it as well.
Hate it for him and the team. Still perplexed as to how it happened.....looked like a total fluke play.
Some here didn't want him to ever see the floor again earlier in the week
Prayers for a speedy recovery for the young man! Sucks our back up PG is out hopefully JR can fill in like he did last night for a little while. He did an awesome job!
Hate to hear this. But we will persevere. Going to be razor sharp when he does comes back !
Butler going to have to be smarter and not pick up cheap fouls.. we will need him on the floor 32+ mins
Doubt we see Perry much in big games. It will be Jax as backup PG. Perry got 1 minute last night. With both down and Pope had more faith in Jax than Perry. Maybe Colgate and Brown game we might see him for 5 to 7 minutes. He can continue to work hard, get in better shape, needs quickness, work with trainers and get the lateral quickness in form. Maybe by Mid January he can really help in big games. Our best bet and maybe our better lineup for the 2nd set is Jax, Oweh, Brea, Almonor and Carr or Garrison.
That is what scared me the most, those type plays usually lead to the worst injuries outside something gruesome.
Exactly what that play looked like In the video of it.
Common causes of a Jones fracture include:
Common causes of a Jones fracture include:
- Sudden force on the outside of the foot while twisting the foot away from the body
- Cast: A non-weight-bearing cast for 6-8 weeks
- Splint: A splint if there is a lot of swelling
- Crutches: To keep weight off the foot
- Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure called arthroscopy that involves making a few small incisions in the foot
So Kerr fractured his foot, then proceeded to get back on defense and jump to contest a shot. What a tough SOB.
