Mark Pope says Jaland Lowe will be kept out of live contact 'for at least another week'
Mark Pope has an update on Jaland Lowe‘s shoulder injury.
During his press conference on Thursday afternoon, Pope was asked about Lowe’s status ahead of Friday’s exhibition against top-ranked Purdue. Lowe was injured during last Friday’s Blue-White Game scrimmage inside Memorial Coliseum.
By the sounds of it, Lowe won’t be ready to play against the Boilermakers, but he’s not too far out from returning.

“Doing good. (Lowe’s) recovery has been epically fast. He’s feeling really good,” Pope said. “He was back shooting yesterday, full speed. We’ll probably keep him out of live contact for at least another week, just to make sure. He’s a massively important part of this season so we want to make sure he’s healthy.”
During the Blue-White Game, the junior point guard got tangled up with Otega Oweh and fell to the floor grabbing his non-shooting shoulder with the training staff coming out to pop it back into place. Lowe couldn’t move it walking back to the locker room, but now that we’re a few days post-injury, this does appear to be a best case scenario for the Pitt transfer.
“Jaland was actually pain-free really, really quickly,” Pope added.
With Lowe on the mend, it’s time for the next man to step up.
