When Florida lost to Kentucky on Saturday it wasn’t just an 18-point lead they lost as Kerry Blackshear Jr.’s services were also ripped away when he fell awkwardly, landing on his hand and bending it backwards resulting in a wrist sprain. Quite frankly, at the time it looked like the injury could be worse than a sprain and when news dropped that it wasn’t a break there was a sigh of relief around the Florida basketball program. However, they’re not out of the woods yet. According to the website “In Street Clothes” (a site that studies and analyzes NBA injuries in terms of their time in recovery as well as player production when they return from injury) even a mild wrist strain can take weeks to recover from, and that means Blackshear might not be available at all for the SEC Tournament, and maybe even the NCAA Tournament.
