Kansas freshman Billy Preston was held out of Tuesday’s game against Kentucky.

KU basketball coach Bill Self explained the suspension in a statement posted to the KU men’s basketball’s Twitter page before the game. He said Preston was involved in a single-vehicle incident Saturday on KU’s campus that damaged his car but had no injuries.

“After I learned about the incident, I reported it to our administration,” Self said. “The administration determined that we needed a clearer financial picture specific to the vehicle. We decided to hold him out of tonight’s game and will continue to do that until the review is complete.
