What Bill Self said on the health of Kohl Rosario, Trey Kaufman-Renn
Kansas basketball didn’t play either Kohl Rosario or Trey Kaufman-Renn in its exhibition Sunday against Duke. Here’s more on their health statuses.
Lawrence, Kansas — Kansas basketball coach Bill Self announced a couple of health updates ahead of the team's exhibition game against Duke on Sunday. Sophomore guard Kohl Rosario would not participate due to a concussion suffered recently in practice, while fifth-year forward Trey Kaufman-Renn also wouldn't play after getting hurt in a similar practice.
Rosario required 14 stitches and oral surgery, and is expected to be out until at least mid-week. Kaufman-Renn was able to practice on Saturday, and Self expressed confidence that he would be fully ready for the regular season opener on November 2 against Fordham. Self also mentioned that the team is generally healthy, and both Rosario and Kaufman-Renn have the potential to contribute once they recover.
The Jayhawks, ranked 18th in the preseason coaches poll, face difficult stretches in the schedule, including games against Kentucky and Middle Tennessee, before the Champions Classic and Players Era events. Despite losing their two major exhibition matches against Duke and Louisville, Kansas demonstrated competitiveness against top-tier teams during the preseason.
