Dajuan Harris Injury Affects Kansas Basketball Ahead of Baylor Game

Kansas basketball's point guard Dajuan Harris is expected to practice on Thursday ahead of the team's road game against Baylor after missing a narrow win over UCF due to an ankle injury sustained in practice. Coach Bill Self noted that Harris's absence was felt, as he has started 98 consecutive games and provides vital leadership on the court. Kansas managed to win 91-87 against UCF despite struggling without Harris, leading to adjustments in their lineup, including a larger emphasis on defensive play. The team had a rocky start, turning the ball over 10 times in the first half, but improved in the second half. Harris's recovery is crucial as the Jayhawks have not won in Waco since the 2019-20 season. Self remains optimistic about Harris's return, emphasizing the importance of his presence in both offense and defense.
