Texas G Andrew Jones Makes 'Positive Strides' Undergoing Leukemia Treatment

Texas Longhorns sophomore guard Andrew Jones is making progress while undergoing leukemia treatment, his family announced Saturday.

According to ESPN.com's Sam Khan Jr., Jones' family released the following statement through the University of Texas: "We do want everyone to know that in the last two weeks, Andrew has made some positive strides. He's even been able to get out of bed and move around some, which is a huge difference from when he was first diagnosed in Austin."

Jones' diagnosis was announced on Jan. 10, and he hasn't played since Texas' Jan. 1 win over Iowa State.
