Kentucky Wildcats forward Andrew Carr has been dealing with back spasms that caused him to miss the game against Vanderbilt. However, after taking time to recover, Carr says he’s feeling much better and is probable for the game against Ole Miss.
Details of the Injury
Carr explained that the back spasms came out of nowhere and were part of a cycle of pretty bad spasms. He had a good week leading up to the Vanderbilt game but didn’t play, which gave him time to calm down the spasms and allow his back to settle.
Recovery and Treatment
Carr has been using a Hyperice Venom massaging heat belt wrapped around his lower back for extra stability. He’s been working with the trainers and has been able to recover, feeling more stable and better.
Impact on the Team
Carr’s return to health is crucial for Kentucky, as he’s been a reliable piece in the rotation, averaging 10.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 53.0% field goal percentage per game. His versatility in the frontcourt gives the Wildcats much-needed depth.
Next Steps
Carr is optimistic about staying on the floor and making an impact moving forward. Kentucky is preparing for a tough stretch of conference play, and having Carr back to full strength is great news for the team.
