Iowa State All-American Joshua Jefferson is listed as questionable for today’s game against Kentucky.
Jefferson went down with an ankle injury early in Iowa State’s win over Tennessee State.
Jeff Goodman reported yesterday that Jefferson is “unlikely to play” against the Wildcats.
Iowa State's Joshua Jefferson (ankle) is unlikely to play tomorrow against Kentucky, source told @TheFieldOf68.
Jefferson will continue to receive treatment prior to the game, but the chances of him being able to play against the Wildcats on Sunday are slim.
