Kansas forward Thomas Robinson hyperextended his left knee during practice Thursday.
“The results from the MRI were positive for Thomas,” Kansas coach Bill Self said in a statement. “He will take a couple of days off to let it calm down, but hopefully will not miss any significant time.”
Self is counting on the 6-foot-9 junior, along with senior guard Tyshawn Taylor, to have a big season. The Jayhawks are the co-favorites to win the Big 12 despite losing Marcus and Markieff Morris, Josh Selby and several other key contributors from last season’s team.
Robinson averaged 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds last season.
The Jayhawks play their first exhibition game Tuesday night against Pittsburg State. They open the regular season Nov. 11 against Towson.
