In discussing Kentucky’s lengthy injury list, Coach Billy Gillispie expressed the greatest concern about Jodie Meeks.
“It doesn’t look good for him,” Gillispie said. “He’s not been able to do anything. That’s pretty disappointing to me.”
Meeks sustained a stress fracture in his pelvic area. The main therapy is rest.
“I’m more concerned about the possibility of his return than Derrick,” Gillispie said in reference to Derrick Jasper, who has yet to play after undergoing microfracture knee surgery in June. “If you can’t do anything after two weeks, that’s not very encouraging.”
On the positive side, Gillispie noted that Ramon Harris has returned to practice on a limited basis.
