A stress fracture in Patrick Patterson's left ankle will sideline him for the remainder of his freshman season at Kentucky.

Patterson has averaged 16.4 and 7.7 rebounds per game.

"All of our games have been desperate situations, except Vanderbilt, so they've come down to the last five minutes," Kentucky Coach Billy Gillispie said. "They've been like tournament games, down to the last three or four possessions. That's helping with our confidence."
