David McCormack didn’t actually see fellow Kansas big man Udoka Azubuike’s painful hand injury at practice on Friday.
“I was in a different drill, a little bit farther away. Once he said it was nagging him, bothering him (after getting it hit), I was there for emotional support, asking him if there was anything I could do to help,” said McCormack KU’s 6-foot-10, 265-pound power forward out of Oak Hill (Va.) Academy.
The freshman once again was there for 7-foot, 270-pound junior pivot Azubuike on Sunday, when it was revealed that the Delta, Nigeria native would miss the rest of the season because of a torn ligament in his right hand.
