In a devastating blow to the Kentucky Wildcats, Jaxson Robinson’s season has come to an abrupt end due to a wrist injury. The talented guard suffered a torn sub-sheath to his ECU tendon, which requires surgery and a lengthy recovery period
Robinson initially injured his wrist during practice on February 10, and despite attempts to rehab and return to the court, the injury proved too severe. He played just 12 minutes in his return game against Oklahoma, re-aggravating the injury and ultimately leading to the decision to undergo surgery
The road to recovery will be challenging, but Kentucky head coach Mark Pope is optimistic about Robinson’s future. “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,” Pope said
So, could Jaxson Robinson ever play again? The answer is yes. With proper rehabilitation and recovery, Robinson is expected to make a full recovery in three months, putting him on track to explore his pro options this summer
Robinson’s journey with the Wildcats may have been cut short, but his determination and resilience will undoubtedly serve him well in his future endeavors. As Pope noted, “When God puts little detours like this in your life, there’s a reason. A lot of times, we don’t know the reason for a while, but I’m sure that it’s gonna grow him into something even more than he ever could have imagined”
