Kentucky basketball forward Milan Momcilovic sustained a finger injury during a team practice session. Initial reports identified the injury as a break, but later assessments confirmed the ailment is a severely jammed finger. The former Iowa State standout is expected to resume shooting drills within ten days, though the team has not established a firm return timetable. While the injury is not expected to force the forward to miss games, it adds to a growing list of physical setbacks for the Kentucky roster. Kam Williams remains sidelined as he recovers from foot surgery, and the team recently saw the departure of Mark Mitchell. Momcilovic, who joined the program as an offseason transfer, is slated to serve as a primary contributor for the Wildcats this year following a season where he averaged 16.9 points per game and shot 49 percent from three-point range.
