Kansas star Kevin McCullar Jr. won't play in the NCAA tournament, coach Bill Self said Tuesday.
McCullar missed six of the final 12 games of the season -- including last week's Big 12 tournament -- while managing a bone bruise on his knee.
"Kevin's not gonna play," Self told reporters. "Kevin says his knee pain has not subsided any and it's too bad for him to be able to contribute. So Kevin will not play. We're shutting him down for the tournament.
"He hasn't practiced in six weeks, basically. He hasn't done more damage to his knee.
