The Kentucky women's basketball program will be without two notable newcomers for the foreseeable future.
Guards Jordan Obi and Dominika Paurová will be 'out indefinitely', the program announced on Monday. Both players sustained lower leg injuries.
Obi was a transfer from Penn who who played 83 games throughout her career. She averaged 13.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game over her career.
She had a terrific year a season ago, scoring in double-figures in 22 of 28 games played.
No specific details were released on how she was injured.
As for Paurová, she averaged 5.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game last season for Oregon State. She shot 37.2 percent from three.
Paurová has been a standout performer for the Czech Republic on the international scene -- where her injury occurred.
It looks like a non-contact knee injury when she planted on it while going up for a layup.
Kentucky WBB guard Dominika Paurová suffered what appears to be a knee injury today against Iceland.

Have not heard what the true extent of the injury is, but it doesn’t sound good. pic.twitter.com/cdx59u2b6q
The Wildcats are in a new era under head coach Kenny Brooks -- who arrived from Virginia Tech.
It had been a very positive offseason for Brooks and the Wildcats -- but this certainly sets them back.
