Kentucky guard Jaxson Robinson, the team's second-leading scorer, will undergo surgery on his wrist and miss the rest of the season, coach Mark Pope said Saturday.

Robinson missed four straight games in February with the injury, but appeared set to return this past Wednesday against Oklahoma. He only played 12 minutes against the Sooners before reaggravating the injury, however, and was ruled out of Saturday's game against Auburn.

Pope made the announcement after the Wildcats' 94-78 loss to the Tigers.

"We kind of came to the final conclusion last night that he's going to get surgery, so he's going Wednesday to the world specialist to have surgery on his wrist," he said.
