A pair of Kentucky Wildcats in the pros suffered season-ending injuries this week during what appeared to be breakthrough seasons.

Former Kentucky forward Kelenna Azubuike tore his patellar tendon Saturday and will undergo surgery. Azubuike will have surgery next week and is expected to miss five to six months, according to the Mercury News.

Azubuike, fresh off a 22-point game last week, was averaging 13.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game for the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile in St. Louis, former Wildcat receiver Keenan Burton suffered a season-ending right knee injury and is expected to undergo surgery later in the week, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He will be placed on the injured-reserve list.

Burton, a second-year receiver with the Rams, caught 25 balls for 253 yards prior to the injury.
