Kansas freshman basketball player Josh Jackson will miss the Jayhawks’ Big 12 Tournament opener, KU coach Bill Self announced Wednesday.
The one-game suspension stems from a Feb. 2 traffic incident that Jackson told Self about Monday. Jackson is scheduled to appear in Lawrence Municipal Court this month after being cited for three traffic violations.
Jackson, 20, received a ticket on Feb. 7 for duty upon striking an unattended vehicle, inattentive driving and improper backing, according to the court. He is scheduled to appear at 9:30 a.m. March 27.
According to Self, Jackson backed into a parked car on the KU campus and left without leaving his information.
