AVAILABILITY REPORT: No surprises for Kentucky, but four names listed for LSU

There are no surprises for Kentucky on the SEC’s initial availability report ahead of the team’s matchup vs. LSU on Tuesday. As expected, Jaxson Robinson (wrist surgery) and Kerr Kriisa (broken foot) are both out against the Tigers — and likely the remainder of the season, confirmed in the former’s case and assumed for the latter. Elsewhere, Lamont Butler (shoulder), Andrew Carr (back) and Amari Williams (ankle) are all back to full strength and officially available going into the final home game of the season.

As for LSU, things are much more troublesome with four Tigers listed on the initial report with three either doubtful or out. Junior forward Jalen Reed, out for the year after tearing his ACL in December, is joined by freshman guard Vyctorius Miller and freshman forward Corey Chest — both doubtful with ankle and foot issues, respectively — while senior guard Dji Bailey is probable.

Miller is the team’s fourth-leading scorer at 8.9 PPG while Chest ranks seventh with 6.1 PPG.

The new SEC policy states that players must be listed as “out” (0% chance to play), “doubtful” (25% chance to play), “questionable” (50% chance to play), or “probable” (75% chance to play) in reports prior to game days. On the final report, players will be designated as “available,” “game-time decision” or “out” in an effort to provide additional clarity.
