Kansas sophomore center Udoka Azubuike was ruled out for the Big 12 Tournament, per a release on Wednesday.
“In practice yesterday [March 6], Udoka [Azubuike] sprained his medial collateral ligament in his left knee during a scrimmage situation,” said Kansas head coach Bill Self in the press release. “It is isolated. It is a grade one sprain. We will hold him out this weekend in Kansas City and he will be re-evaluated Sunday and our expectation is that he’ll be back on the court next week.”
A Grade 1 sprain is the least severe and means that a ligament has been stretched but not torn. Azubuike is averaging 13.7 PPG and 7.1 RPG through 31 games this year for the Jayhawks.
