The Injured
Kansas has a total of 10 players out due to COVID. Six of those players are scholarship athletes while four are walk-ons. The Jayhawks have only played two games so far this season, but have already had to cancel or postpone five games due to the virus.
The starters
The starting five for Kansas this season was Devon Dotson, Udoka Azubuike, Marcus Garrett, Silvio De Sousa, and Ochai Agbaji. All five of these players have tested positive for COVID-19 and are currently injured. The team is hopeful that they will be able to return to play soon.
The bench
The Jayhawks will be without at least four starters when they take on the Jayhawks. Starting point guard Devon Dotson, shooting guard Marcus Garrett, and small forwards Silvio De Sousa and Gerson Santo are all out with COVID-19. That leaves the team extremely short-handed, and they will have to rely heavily on their bench players to step up in their absences.
The Returners
As the college football season starts, many programs are dealing with COVID within their team. So far, four players from Kansas have tested positive for the virus. These players will have to quarantine for at least two weeks and will miss the Jayhawks’ season opener against Coastal Carolina.
The starters
The starters are all returning this season. The only player that is not on the team is Carlton Bragg, who left to pursue a professional career.
The bench
There are a few players that have yet to return to the court for the Jayhawks. Marcus Garrett, Ochai Agbaji, and David McCormack all tested positive for COVID-19 within the last month and are still working their way back.
