EJ Montgomery will not play vs. EKU

Kentucky will be one man down for the home-opener.

UK announced E.J. Montgomery will Miss Friday night’s game against the Colonels of Eastern Kentucky. The sophomore forward suffered a right ankle injury in the Champions Classic victory over No. 1 Michigan State.

Moving forward, Montgomery is being monitored by the UK sports medicine staff on a daily basis. Following Nick Richards’ ankle injury, UK’s bigs have had bad luck with ankle issues to start the 2019 season.
