Will Jaxson Robinson play for Kentucky vs Auburn today? UK basketball injury update news
College basketball freshmen who are making a case to be lottery picks
Here are 3 freshmen who are playing their way into becoming lottery picks for the 2025 NBA Draft.
- Robinson returned from a wrist injury Wednesday against Oklahoma but only played in the first half.
- Robinson averages 13 points per game, second most of any player for the Wildcats.
LEXINGTON — Jaxson Robinson‘s return to the court was brief.
Robinson, a starting guard for Kentucky basketball, was listed as “out” on the SEC’s availability report at 11 a.m. Saturday, two hours ahead of tipoff versus top-ranked Auburn at Rupp Arena.
The 6-foot-6, 192-pound Robinson had missed four straight games (Tennessee, Texas, Vanderbilt and Alabama) before returning to start in Wednesday’s win at Oklahoma. But Robinson only played the first half; he did not enter the game at any point in Wednesday’s second half.
Robinson injured his wrist in a practice collision Feb. 7.
Robinson has appeared in 24 of UK’s 28 games in 2024-25. His 13 points per outing is the second-best average for the Wildcats, trailing only fellow guard Otega Oweh (16.1 points per game).
UK and Auburn are slated to tip off at 1 p.m. today at Rupp Arena.
The contest between the Wildcats and Tigers will air on ABC. Dan Shulman (play-by-play), Jay Bilas (analyst) and Jess Sims (sideline) will have the call.
