Georgia will await an official diagnosis on junior forward Yante Maten’s right knee. But from what has been relayed to head coach Mark Fox, the injury is “serious” and “significant.”
Fox used both of those words in separate instances when discussing Maten’s injury following the Bulldogs’ narrow 82-77 loss to No. 13 Kentucky. Georgia maintained a close game throughout the full 40 minutes with the Wildcats despite losing Maten in the first two minutes of the game.
Maten collided with Kentucky guard Isaiah Briscoe while going for a rebound, which caused the injury. Maten was on the court being tended to by the Georgia training staff before limping to the locker room for observation.
