Kentucky coach Pope says guard Kam Williams suffered broken foot in win over Texas

By Canadian Press on January 21, 2026.

Kentucky coach Mark Pope said guard Kam Williams “will be out for a while” with a broken foot suffered in Wednesday night’s 85-80 win over Texas.

“Kam’s foot’s broken,” Pope said, adding he hoped to “get him back healthy as soon as we possibly can, but he’ll be out for a while and it’s certainly a blow to us.”

Williams scored nine points in only 16 minutes before suffering the injury for Kentucky (13-6, 4-2 Southeastern Conference).

Williams, a sophomore, was averaging 6.8 points and 2.6 rebounds before the game.
