KEVIN MCCULLAR NEWS

Game-time decision Saturday McCullar (back) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's Big 12 Tournament championship, Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Impact The senior has been fighting through back spasms all tournament long and it looks as if McCullar will be a game-time decision due to the problem. This would be a massive loss for Kansas, as the forward is averaging 10.7 points and 7.1 rebounds this season.

Plays 26 minutes McCullar (back) wound up playing Thursday and finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, an assist and a steal across 26 minutes in a win over West Virginia.

Impact McCullar was brought off the bench for the first time all year after it was reported that he was managing back spasms. The issue doesn't seem to be enough to hold him out and it will be worth seeing if he's healthy enough to move back into the starting unit for Friday's meeting with Iowa State. Joseph Yesufu got the start in his place and figures to do so again if McCullar is still bothered by his back at all.

Posts another solid stat line McCullar recorded 16 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 76-74 victory over West Virginia.

Impact McCullar scored in double figures for the ninth time in the last 11 games. This helped make up for his relatively disappointing production on the boards Saturday, as he averaged 7.7 rebounds per game across the Jayhawks' previous 10 contests. McCullar will look to finish the regular season strong versus Texas Tech on Tuesday followed by Texas this coming Saturday, both of which have been middle of the road in the Big 12 conference with 35.0 and 34.2 rebounds per game this season, respectively.

Gradey Dick scored 19 points, Kevin McCullar Jr. had 15 and third-ranked Kansas extended its winning streak to five games with a 63-58 win over No. 24 TCU

Nine points, eight rebounds McCullar closed with nine points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 87-71 win over Baylor.

Impact McCullar's latest log is not bad but relatively unimpressive, considering he logged at least 10 points, 10 rebounds or both during each of his previous eight games. On the plus side, his previous ankle injury is not expected to prevent him from playing, so he will have opportunities of redeeming himself across future games the Jayhawks play.

Available Saturday McCullar (ankle) will be available Saturday against Baylor, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact McCullar sustained an ankle injury during Tuesday's win over Oklahoma State but was considered probable ahead of Saturday's matchup. He's averaging 10.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.2 steals in 30.7 minutes per game this year, and it seems unlikely that he'll face significant limitations against Baylor since the Jayhawks consistently downplayed the severity of his injury.

May not practice, still probable McCullar (ankle) may not practice on Thursday but is still probable before Kansas' game Saturday versus Baylor, according to Matt Tait of the Lawrence Journal-World.

Impact Kansas' head coach Bill Self said he does not know if McCullar will practice on Thursday. However, the senior is not expected to sit out any games. Self believes McCullar can practice on Friday and be available Saturday.

Probable vs. Baylor McCullar suffered an ankle injury during Kansas' 87-76 win Tuesday at Oklahoma State, according to Matt Tait of the Lawrence Journal-World.

Impact McCullar had his right ankle taped heavily at one point during Kansas' latest game. But post-game, the senior was not wearing a walking boot and seemed confident he would be ready to play Baylor on Saturday. So before the Jayhawks host their next opponent, McCullar will be probable.

FEBRUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stock continues to rise McCullar recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 78-55 victory over Oklahoma.

Impact McCullar scored in double digits for the second game in a row, marking his sixth time doing so in the last seven games. The Texas Tech transfer got off to a rather slow scoring start to open Big 12 play this season, though his recent run of success combined with his early season production has boosted him up to a career-high 10.6 points per game. McCullar is also averaging a career-high 7.5 rebounds per game, and he's accumulated eight double-doubles this season.

Stymied in loss McCullar had two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 68-53 loss to Iowa State.

Impact McCullar's streak of double-doubles came to an end against this stout Iowa State squad, as the senior forward took his second-fewest field-goal attempts of any game this season. However, he still maintained his consistent production on the defensive glass, as he's now averaged 12.0 rebounds over the last four contests. McCullar will look to bounce back from this poor shooting performance Monday versus Texas.

Warming up Saturday McCullar (finger) is participating in pregame warmups before Saturday's contest against Iowa State, Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Impact McCullar appears to be dealing with a finger issue, as Guskey points out that the forward was not seen wearing any sort of tape on his injured hand. This is a very encouraging sign that he should continue to suit up, as the 6-foot-6 senior has started all 21 of his games for Kansas this season. McCullar has averaged 10.7 points and 7.8 rebounds this campaign, and he's currently coming off three consecutive double-double performances.
