Mark Pope says PG Jaland Lowe to have season-ending surgery
Jaland Lowe will miss the rest of the season after right-shoulder surgery following multiple dislocations; recovery is expected to take six months, coach Mark Pope said.
- On Monday, UK men's basketball head coach Mark Pope announced on the Mark Pope Show that Jaland Lowe will have season-ending shoulder surgery, updated Jan. 12, 2026.
- Recurrent dislocations of Lowe's shoulder, including the Blue‑White scrimmage, N.C. Central, St. John's, and Mississippi State, forced season‑ending surgery after four incidents in less than three months.
- In nine games, Jaland Lowe averaged 8.0 points and 2.4 assists, leaving the Mississippi State game at the 17:18 mark of the first half after a play on Josh Hubbard and not returning.
- Kentucky will be without its point guard for the rest of the season and Jaland Lowe may pursue a medical redshirt waiver; `We have pushed the envelope on him in every way`, Mark Pope said.
- Pope set the recovery timeline at about six months, saying Lowe's preseason third‑team All‑SEC status from Pitt raises the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball program's roster impact.
