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.

KJ Adams Jr. made his highly anticipated return to the court for Kansas basketball against UCF after missing several games due to a shoulder injury he sustained in the Iowa State game on January 15th. His return was a boost for the Jayhawks, who were looking to bounce back from a tough loss to Houston.

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

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.

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 earned a win on Saturday at home vs rival Kansas State. Here’s more on how, and why that reason will matter a lot moving forward.
