Kentucky Basketball Star Sidelined Again with Shoulder Injury
15 Nov
Summary
- Lowe re-injured his shoulder, ruling him out of Friday's game
- Lowe meeting with doctors to discuss surgery or recovery options
- Denzel Aberdeen steps up with career-high performance
On November 14, 2025, Kentucky's starting point guard Jaland Lowe re-injured his shoulder, as first reported by KSR's Jack Pilgrim. Lowe was not able to participate in warmups for the team's game against Eastern Illinois on November 15, and was ultimately ruled out pregame.
According to Kentucky head coach Mark Pope, Lowe "tweaked his shoulder" the previous day, and the team is now working to determine the next steps. Pope acknowledged the setback is "devastating" for Lowe, who had worked hard to recover from his initial shoulder injury. Lowe is now meeting with doctors to discuss the possibility of surgery or a path to get back on the court.
In Lowe's absence, Denzel Aberdeen will once again be asked to step up. Aberdeen had an impressive outing in Kentucky's previous game against Louisville, scoring a career-high 26 points. The team is hopeful that Lowe can return at some point this season, but they are prioritizing his long-term health and will ensure he is fully recovered before bringing him back.
