Robinson, Butler in the starting lineup for Kentucky vs. S. Carolina

Kentucky’s Jaxson Robinson and Lamont Butler are in the starting lineup for Saturday’s SEC Matchup with South Carolina Gamecocks.

Wildcats coach Mark Pope had told ESPN that Robinson and Butler were both “real decisions about game time.”

Pope said Robinson had a “brutal collision” in practice Friday and injured his wrist. While Robinson did not suffer from a break, the senior guard does not have “great mobility”, according to Pope.

Butler has been out with a shoulder problem since January 25. He missed the last three matches, but was cleared for non -contact practice on Thursday.

Robinson (13.6 PPG) and Butler (13.2) are second and third on the team in the scoring respectively.
