Reed re-injures right ankle but still might play against Pitt State Tuesday

Kansas guard Tyrel Reed lunges for a steal from Colorado guard Dwight Thorne II during the second half Saturday, Jan. 17, 2009 at the Coors Events Center in Boulder, Colorado. Left is Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor.

Kansas junior guard Tyrel Reed re-sprained his right ankle at practice over the weekend, but KU coach Bill Self said the guard still might play Tuesday in the Jayhawks’ exhibition finale against Pittsburg State.

“Tyrel tweaked his ankle, so I don’t know what his availability will be tomorrow,” Self said Monday. “He turned his ankle pretty severely on Saturday, the same one he hurt before. He may be ready to go.”

Self said C.J. Henry continues to be hampered by his swollen right knee.

“The knee’s still bothering him a little bit. He’s tried to practice and it swelled back up, so I don’t know if he’ll play on Tuesday. … Hopefully, he’ll be out there, but I don’t know if he’ll be able to go tomorrow or not.”

Self said no decision had been made on possibly red-shirting Mario Little, Travis Releford or Conner Teahan. The coach said there would not be an announcement made Monday.
