Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Pope has provided a positive update on Jaxson Robinson’s wrist injury. According to Pope, Robinson’s surgery on Wednesday was a success.
“Surgery was perfect,” Pope said during his Thursday press conference. “I talked to him last night. He was a little tired and a little irritable, but he’s on his way back right now.”
Robinson, who suffered a torn ECU tendon in his right wrist, is expected to make a full recovery in three months. This timeline puts him on track to explore his pro options this summer.
Pope also praised Robinson’s dedication to the team, despite his season-ending injury. “Jaxson Robinson is a consummate team player,” Pope said. “He was so excited to go back to Oklahoma for a bunch of reasons… He’s a really special human being.”
Robinson’s injury has been a significant blow to the Wildcats, but Pope’s update provides a silver lining. With Robinson on the mend, Kentucky fans can look forward to his potential return to the court in the future.
While the surgery was a success, Robinson’s road to recovery will be challenging. The torn ECU tendon in his right wrist requires a lengthy rehabilitation process, which will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
However, Pope is confident that Robinson will make a full recovery. “Jaxson is a hard worker, and he’s dedicated to his craft,” Pope said. “I have no doubt that he’ll come back stronger than ever.”
Robinson’s injury has had a significant impact on the Wildcats. The team has struggled to find consistency without their star player, and the loss has been felt deeply.
However, Pope is proud of the way his team has responded to the challenge. “We’ve had to adapt and adjust, but our guys have shown a lot of heart and resilience,” Pope said.
With his recovery underway, Robinson will now turn his attention to the future. The talented guard is expected to explore his pro options this summer, and many believe he has a bright future ahead of him.
For now, though, Robinson is focused on his rehabilitation. He’s determined to come back stronger than ever, and Kentucky fans can’t wait to see him back on the court.
