Kentucky women’s basketball loses two players to injury

Dominika Paurova and Jordan Obi are out indefinitely for Kentucky women’s basketball.

Two of Kentucky’s new addition to the women’s basketball team were Dominika Paurova and Jordan Obi. They were part of a group of exciting additions to this year’s team by new coach Kenny Brooks. However, both players are dealing with injuries that will sideline them indefinitely.

Paurova is a transfer from Oregon State just entering her Sophomore season. She averaged 7.3 points per game in the NCAA Tournament last season, and is a very good three-point shooter. She injured her knee playing for the Czech Republic on July 14th.

Obi transferred to Kentucky from Penn where she was All-Ivy League all three seasons. She averaged nearly 14 points per game in her time there. Specifics weren’t given on her injury, but it was also a “lower leg injury.”

Both players are out indefinitely with no further details given. Hopefully they’re ready to go when the season begins, as both are very good players who make the Wildcats better.

Since Kenny Brooks became the head coach of Kentucky women’s basketball, he has completely remade the roster with loads of talented players. On Wednesday, he added another one, as guard Dominika Paurova announced her intention to transfer from Oregon State to the Wildcats.

As a Freshman last season, Paurova didn’t start in any games, but averaged about 16 minutes a game off the bench. She averaged 5.5 points per contest and shot 37% from three-point range.

In Oregon State’s NCAA Tournament run to the Elite Eight, she upped her game, averaging 7.3 points per game and making 50% of the threes. She scored 17 in the opening round, which was her highest total of the season.

Paurova will be a Sophomore next season, but has plenty of experience in big games. She played for the Czech Republic women’s national team’s U20 team and the U18 team as well, and played well for both.

Kentucky fans will wait and see how Brooks fits all the pieces together on the floor next season. There’s no doubting the talent, though. Paurova is another very good player on next year’s squad, and with three years of eligibility left, fans will get to see her continue to get better.
