Kansas junior center Udoka Azubuike will miss Saturday’s Big 12 game against Iowa State because of a wrist injury sustained at practice on Friday, coach Bill Self said before Saturday’s game.

“Udoka Azubuike is out,” Self said in a release. “He got his wrist hit yesterday at practice and he said he couldn’t go, which is fine because the X-rays were negative and the doctor obviously thinks he’s going to be OK. We will get an MRI on him tomorrow. Based on what we dealt with two years ago — what he dealt with — I can understand the apprehension in his mind even though we don’t think they are remotely related and it’s a different hand but we’re going to sit him today.
