Saddled with ‘bad sprain,’ Azubuike exhibits ‘great attitude,’ KU assistant says

Kansas junior center Udoka Azubuike wore a boot on his right foot and walked with the use of crutches on Wednesday — the day after the 7-footer suffered a severely sprained ankle in the first half of the Jayhawks’ 72-47 win over Wofford at Allen Fieldhouse.

“He had a great attitude today. For a guy who got hurt and heard news he might not play for a few games, he had a great attitude,” KU assistant coach Kurtis Townsend said while subbing for head coach Bill Self Wednesday on Self’s weekly Hawk Talk radio show. Self was on the road recruiting.
