Appleton yet to practice

Kansas University held its fifth men’s basketball practice of the season Wednesday. Junior guard Tyrone Appleton has yet to practice because of a hip flexor injury.

“I’m concerned that he’s getting behind,” KU coach Bill Self said, noting Appleton has been working on the stationary bike to stay in shape. “He just can’t cut,” Self said.

Junior Mario Little, who was slowed by a stress fracture in his lower left leg earlier this semester, practiced full time and is feeling fine, Self said.
