"He is getting the best treatment. ... He's got tightness in his right hamstring," Self said following Kansas' Saturday, Nov. 15 game vs. Princeton.
"He wants to be out there so bad, but I'm not going to put him out there until he feels well. You can say or think we are trying to win the battle, well, yeah, we are, but the battle is not nearly as important as the long term, so to speak. We've got to get him to where he is not hesitant to play."
The Jayhawks' next game will be on Monday Nov. 24
