Cam Martin - Not dressed against Baylor Martin (shoulder) isn't dressed for the Jayhawks' key game against Baylor, per Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal.
Impact Martin has only appeared in four games this season, missing his last five. The reserve big man is rarely used, averaging 2.5 minutes per game.

MJ Rice - Limited contributions Saturday Rice (back) closed Saturday's 83-60 loss to TCU with no counting stats across two minutes.
Impact Rice had been limited of late by a back injury, but the freshman win has been a fringe rotation piece since the start of conference play anyway. The four-star recruit still has upside in dynasty formats, but considering he's seen double-digit minutes just twice since Dec. 1, healthy or not, he can safely be disregarded in redraft leagues.

Jalen Wilson - Game-high 38 points in OT loss Wilson recorded 38 points (12-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 45 minutes during Tuesday's 83-82 OT loss to Kansas State.
Impact Wilson played every single minute in this extended overtime loss to the in-state rival Wildcats. The 6-foot-8 junior has not shot particularly well overall while taking a career-high 17.1 field-goal attempts per game this season, though he answered the bell after fellow starters Kevin McCullar and K.J. Adams both fouled out during regulation. This was also Wilson's third time with at least 29 points in a game this season, and he's now averaged 20.8 points and 8.9 rebounds across 18 starts in 2022-23. Therefore, he should still probably be considered the top fantasy player in the Big 12 and one of the best in college basketball overall.

Dajuan Harris - Comes up short in OT loss Harris chipped in three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 83-82 OT loss to Kansas State.
Impact Harris managed to continue playing nearly every minute for the Jayhawks despite briefly heading to the locker room with an apparent lower-body injury during regulation, according to Michael Swain of 247Sports.com. While the point guard was able to log a season high in assists, he posted one of his worst shooting performances of the season. He also lost his footing while driving to the hoop and failed to put up a shot before time expired in overtime. Harris has still converted 41.5 percent of his 6.8 field-goal attempts and 55.5 percent of his 3.3 shots from beyond the arc per game during Big 12 play, though his primary value will continue to come as a distributor for the Jayhawks' offense moving forward.

Kevin McCullar - Plays 23 minutes in OT loss McCullar had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 83-82 OT loss to Kansas State.
Impact McCullar was held scoreless for the first time in his 17 starts with Kansas, as he attempted a season-low two field goals prior to fouling out with 5:46 left in the second half. The 6-foot-6 senior did still provide his usual production on the boards, as he's now averaged a career-high 7.2 rebounds during the 2022-23 campaign. However, McCullar has now converted 32.6 percent of his 7.2 field-goal attempts per game over six conference games this season, which does not provide much confidence for the downward trend in his scoring average moving forward through Big 12 paly.

Impact Dick was one of two Jayhawks starters to foul out along with sophomore forward K.J. Adams. The freshman shooting guard had a rough night on the offensive end, though he still managed to put up double-digit points for the 14th time this season thanks to his season high in free-throw attempts and makes. Dick also logged one of the best defensive performances of his young career, including just his third and fourth blocks of the 2022-23 campaign. He will look to bounce back from this inefficient shooting performance Saturday against TCU.
