Colorado freshman guard Alec Burks will not play in Wednesday night’s game against Kansas, CU coach Jeff Bzdelik announced Wednesday.

Burks, who graduated from Grandview High in Grandview, Mo., suffered a left knee sprain in Colorado’s 64-63 loss at Iowa State on Saturday. He is CU’s second-leading scorer (16.3 points) and top rebounder (4.7 rebounds).
