Injured Kansas University forward Perry Ellis won’t play Thursday against TCU in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals, according to pre-game comments by KU coach Bill Self.
Self told TV and radio reporters that Ellis, who missed Saturday’s loss at Oklahoma because of a sprained knee, would sit out KU’s tourney opener but KU is hopeful Ellis can play in Friday’s semifinal game if the Jayhawks advanced.
KU tips off against TCU at 1:30 p.m. at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
