Kansas University senior Wayne Simien suffered a sprained left thumb in Saturday’s victory over South Carolina.

X-rays taken Saturday night showed no broken bones.

“It’s definitely a sprained left thumb, but we don’t know to what extent,” KU coach Bill Self said Sunday through the KU media-relations department.

“We’ll know more after testing on Monday. We’ll have to let things calm down,” he added, referring to the injury and the swelling.

Simien, who was hacked hard as he prepared to hoist a shot in the lane in the second half, was able to continue in the game after getting taped. He finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds in 35 minutes.

Simien’s status for Wednesday’s 7 p.m. contest against Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Kemper Arena is undetermined. Self was expected to address the injury at today’s weekly media conference.
