Kansas freshman forward Billy Preston did not travel to Miami for the Jayhawks’ game against Syracuse on Saturday, KU coach Bill Self announced Saturday morning.
Preston has not played in a regular-season game this season as the KU athletic department looks into the financial picture surrounding the vehicle he’s been driving. Self said Preston remained in Lawrence to spend time with his mom, who was visiting from Dallas.
“Billy practiced with us Friday morning and after practice I learned that his mother was coming to town and would have little opportunity to spend time with Billy due to the Miami trip,” Self said in a release from KU Athletics.
