There was one surprise on the SEC’s Availability Report for Kentucky’s matchup with Auburn.
Senior guard Denzel Aberdeen was listed as probable. Aberdeen has not missed a game during the regular season for Kentucky (17-9; 8-5 SEC), filling in as the point guard since early January. He’s averaged 13.5 points and 3.2 assists per game on 41.2 percent shooting since the start of SEC play. Being listed as probable means he’s still more likely to play against the Tigers than not.
As expected, the Wildcats will also be without the usual three players: Jayden Quaintance (knee), Jaland Lowe (shoulder), and Kam Williams (foot) will all sit out Saturday’s game against the Tigers due to injury.
