It is seeming more and more likely that Kentucky will be without star transfer Jayden Quaintance for the long haul, if not the entire rest of the season.
In today’s pregame press conference for Arkansas, Mark Pope said Quaintance is in “full shutdown” right now from all on-court activity.
“We’re doing everything we can with the performance team,” Pope said.
Pope added that he won’t play Saturday at Arkansas, “unless he gets better.”
