Texas sophomore guard Andrew Jones has been diagnosed with leukemia, the university announced.
"After undergoing a number of tests and evaluations over the past week, Andrew has been diagnosed with leukemia," his family announced in a statement. "He has begun treatments, and we hope everyone will keep him in your thoughts and prayers. This is obviously a difficult situation for our family, and we hope everyone will respect our privacy at this time."
Jones has missed four games during this season due to a wrist injury but also played a few minutes against Kansas and Iowa State upon his return.
