Kentucky fans deal with another injury news as head coach Mark Pope announced a troubling update regarding Kam Williams. During the second half against Texas, Williams exited the game with 18 minutes remaining.
After making two free throws, he was going on the other side and by the time he crossed the midline, he was hobbling. After Pope called for a timeout, he went to the locker room.
In the post-game interview, Pope revealed that Williams has hurt his left foot and will be out for a “while.”
“Kam’s foot’s broken, so he’ll be out. He’s just a beautiful kid,” Pope said. “I thought he actually made some special plays tonight. So we’re going to get him back healthy as soon as we possibly can, but he’ll be out for a while, and that’s certainly a blow to us.”
Fans were left disappointed after hearing another injury news:
“At this point, I’m convinced we’re cursed. This is ridiculous,” one fan wrote.
“His season is over. Wtf man. How do they keep being the most injured team in college,” a fan asked.
“Nice coach speak but he’s done for the season. I’d love to be wrong but don’t see it,” one fan wrote.
“Some duke fan with uk voodoo doll,” one fan joked.
“Conversations need to be had about these shoes players are wearing these days,” one fan wrote.
“If he broke his foot I can’t see him playing another game this season,” one fan added.
Injuries Piling Up for Mark Pope and the Wildcats
Kam Williams’ injury is not the only casualty the program has suffered already this season. Point guard Jaland Lowe is already out for the season after shoulder surgery.
Apart from these two, Jayden Quaintance missed numerous games (12+) this season due to knee swelling/injury. Jaxson Robinson had only missed one game due to a wrist injury. Notably, it was his first absence after 23 consecutive starts.
A left shoulder injury required Lamond Butler to miss several games before attempting a return.
As such, the latest injury added to Pope’s troubles as he will have to do without his featured running back.
