The Kansas athletic department released further details Wednesday about a car accident over the weekend that led to freshman Billy Preston sitting out Tuesday’s game.
Just before KU’s 65-61 victory over Kentucky, coach Bill Self announced Preston had been involved in a single-car accident and he was being held out by KU’s administration until the compliance department could get a “clearer financial picture” regarding Preston’s vehicle.
A release from KU Athletics on Wednesday said that Preston “hit a curb Saturday midday on 19th Street on campus, resulting in minor damage to his tires. Other than his tires, there was no property damage, and there were no injuries or other individuals involved.
