I thought he actually made some special plays tonight. We\u2019re going to get him back healthy as soon as we possibly can, but he\u2019ll be out for a while, and that\u2019s certainly a blow to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Over the last few weeks, the importance of Williams has grown quite a bit. Bringing a 3-point threat to the forward spot, he has helped unlock a new-look offense for the Cats. Now it could be on the staff to readjust as Williams misses significant time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With Jaland Lowe out for the season and Jayden Quaintance still out with knee swelling, let\u2019s hope this doesn\u2019t end Williams\u2019 season. If so, Kentucky has some serious questions it needs to be asking around the athletics department as to why this keeps happening to the men\u2019s basketball program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kentucky Wildcats picked up another win on Wednesday night as they knocked off the Texas Longhorns, 85-80.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[13321,56326,56882,43894,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-132921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball","tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball-injuries","tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball-news","tag-kentucky-wildcats-news","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
