Kentucky Basketball Injury Update: Quaintance OUT vs. LSU, New Starting Lineup! (2026)

Kentucky's C Jayden Quaintance will be sidelined vs. LSU due to a knee injury. Quaintance, who made his debut in December, has been dealing with swelling in his surgically repaired knee, causing him to miss the previous game. Mark Pope, the head coach, expects a 'start or stop' approach as Quaintance returns to the court. Meanwhile, Kentucky's lineup is set to change with Kam Williams and Andrija Jelavic starting at LSU. Williams, a three-point specialist, and Jelavic, who has been playing more minutes, will create more space in the middle of the floor. On the other hand, LSU is facing its own injury concerns. Dedan Thomas, LSU's top scorer and playmaker, is listed as 'doubtful' due to a lower leg injury. Thomas' absence has impacted LSU's performance, as they lost all three games without him. The game between Kentucky and LSU is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on SEC Network. Fans can also follow the action on the KSR LIVE BLOG and discuss the game on KSBoard.
