OU basketball: Center Kur Kuath likely out for the season

NORMAN — Oklahoma junior center Kur Kuath will likely miss the rest of the season with a back injury.

The transfer from Salt Lake Community College played in six games this season. He recorded six points, five rebounds and three blocks in 33 minutes.

The 6-foot-10 native of South Sudan was initially expected to redshirt when he signed with the Sooners, but Kuath impressed the coaching staff during the summer and earned a spot in the rotation.

"His back is kind of touch and go," coach Lon Kruger said. "It looks like he's probably not gonna get back in terms of a long-range plan.
