But according to the SEC’s availability report on Tuesday night, Mark Pope’s team appears like it might have standout players Lamont Butler and Jaxson Robinson available for Wednesday night’s showdown at Oklahoma.
The SEC injury report has both Butler and Robinson listed as probable as Kentucky tries once again to get going in the right direction after last Saturday’s disappointing loss at Alabama.
Butler last appeared in a game for Kentucky 2 weeks ago, when he re-injured his shoulder against Tennessee.
Robinson also missed that game against the Vols after he suffered a wrist injury from a collision in practice the week prior.
But after taking some time off, both players tested their injuries in practice on Monday and it appears everything is clear for a return for both on Wednesday night. The Wildcats and Sooners will tip things off in Norman at 9 p.m. ET on SEC Network. Kentucky will try to once again get over .500 in the SEC, as the Wildcats are 7-7 in the rugged league going into the matchup.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma comes in with a 4-10 record in the conference and is looking for a big upset in front of its home crowd.
