By John Clay Kentucky basketball’s injury report prior to UK’s first game in this week’s SEC Tournament offered no surprises. Head coach Mark Pope’s UK team will be without fifth-year guards Kerr Kriisa and Jaxson Robinson for Thursday night’s SEC Tournament second-round game against Oklahoma at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. But, none of Kentucky’s other 10 scholarship players were on the injury report, which was released Wednesday night and updated Thursday.

The Sooners defeated 11 seed Georgia, 81-75, in a first-round game Wednesday night. UK won at Oklahoma, 83-82, on Feb. 26, powered by a special scoring performance from junior guard Otega Oweh, who previously played two seasons at OU.

Hermens rhermens@herald-leader.com SEC Tournament injury information for Kentucky basketball Kentucky has been without Kriisa and Robinson for a while now, and that will continue to be the case for the rest of the season. Both players are out for the rest of Kentucky’s campaign. Kriisa — a fifth-year guard from Estonia who previously played at Arizona and West Virginia — suffered a fractured foot while playing in UK’s overtime win over Gonzaga on Dec. 7 and hasn’t appeared in a game for the Wildcats since. Kriisa only played in nine games for UK this season before suffering that injury, which required surgery. “We’re past the window now where he could actually get back,” Pope said of Kriisa on March 6. “It’s just been a little bit of a stubborn healing process. So, he just hasn’t reached the benchmarks that he needed to get to, in terms of the healing process.”
