Kemp is yet to debut for Carlton, he was selected at pick 17 in the 2019 AFL Draft.
“While this news is unfortunate as Brodie was really setting himself for the start of the season, he certainly has the mindset to attack his rehab with professionalism and commitment.” Lloyd added.
Kemp ruptured his ACL in July just months prior to the 2019 national draft.
