The Kentucky Wildcats backcourt is already without Kerr Kriisa for the foreseeable future. Could it be without Koby Brea when the Cats face the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday?
On the SEC availability report, Brea is listed as questionable to play in Athens, while standout Georgia guard De’Shayne Montgomery is probable to play. Montgomery is averaging 13.5 points (56.8% shooting), 2.5 steals, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game.
It’s unclear what type of injury/illness Brea could be dealing with, but this would be a major loss for a Kentucky team fresh off a top-10 win over Florida due to their 3-point sharpshooter.
In the 106-100 victory in Lexington, Brea scored a career-high 23 points and drained a career-best seven 3s, the second most against a top-10 opponent in program history. It helped him collect Co-SEC Player of the Week honors.
Brea has been a major offensive spark off the bench for Kentucky this season, so not having him would be a huge blow on the offensive end. Kentucky was able to win at Gonzaga earlier this season despite Brea being held to five points on 2/9 shooting, but just his presence on the floor opens things up.
Kentucky is surely hoping No. 4 can push through this and play Tuesday night in the first SEC road game of the season.
