Adams and Dajuan Harris (ankle sprain) were both able to practice on a limited basis in preparation for Saturday’s game vs. Baylor, KU coach Bill Self said.

Adams, known for his tough defense and hustle, has been a massive piece of Kansas’ rotation this season. Averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, the senior from Austin, Texas, brings energy and leadership that the Jayhawks will undoubtedly miss during this stretch of Big 12 play.

Kansas basketball is getting closer to full strength. KJ Adams is close to returning to the Jayhawks from an injury.

Kansas senior men’s basketball forward KJ Adams, who has missed the last three games because of a separated shoulder suffered in the KU-Iowa State game on Jan. 15, practiced on Monday, coach Bill Self said before Tuesday’s KU-UCF game at Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas coach Bill Self has offered the latest update on the injury of forward KJ Adams. Adams suffered a separated shoulder in the Jayhawks' clash against Iowa State on Jan.

After missing three straight games because of a shoulder injury, Kansas senior forward KJ Adams returned to play 26 minutes in Tuesday’s 91-87 victory over UCF at Allen Fieldhouse.
