Azubuike’s ankle ‘sore,’ but improving: ‘He can walk on it in a limited capacity’

Injured Kansas junior center Udoka Azubuike has been working on his shooting form the past couple days, hoisting 5-foot shots while seated on a four-legged stool in KU’s practice gym.

The 7-foot, 270-pound Nigeria native is in the early stages of rehab after suffering a severely sprained right ankle in the first half of KU’s 72-47 victory over Wofford on Dec. 4 at Allen Fieldhouse.

“The swelling is still there, but it’s gone down a tremendous amount. He can walk on it in a limited capacity,” KU coach Bill Self said on Tuesday’s Hawk Talk radio show.
