Feb 11, 2025; Lexington, Kentucky, USA; Kentucky Wildcats guard Lamont Butler (1) falls to the court holding his arm during the second half against the Tennessee Volunteers at Rupp Arena at Central Bank Center. Mandatory Credit: Jordan Prather-Imagn Images Kentucky guard Lamont Butler appeared to re-injure his left shoulder during the second half of the 15th-ranked Wildcats' home game against No. 5 Tennessee on Tuesday night.
Butler dove for a loose ball with 8:40 left in regulation and appeared to be in pain after landing on his left arm. He left the game, and Kentucky later said that he would not return.
Butler previously missed three games with a shoulder injury before returning Saturday to play in the Wildcats' 80-57 win over South Carolina.
In addition to being Kentucky's third-leading scorer (12.9 points per game), Butler had team-high averages of 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game entering Tuesday. He put up six points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals against the Volunteers before his exit.
Kentucky was already playing without guard Jaxson Robinson, out with a wrist injury.
