Kriisa had surgery on his broken foot in December and last played for the Wildcats on Dec. 7 vs. Gonzaga. He was averaging 4.4 points and 3.8 assists per game before the injury. Kriisa was a key part of a nine man transfer class and was the backup point guard to Lamont Butler before he went down.
This is a big blow for Kentucky, who are already without star Jaxson Robinson for the season with a wrist injury.
Pope previously said Kriisa meets the requirements for a medical redshirt and he could return for a sixth season of college basketball next year.
