Shakeel Moore - College Basketball News & Rumors

Injury updated before preseason DNP Moore (ankle) did not play during Kansas' exhibition game Tuesday against Washburn.

Impact Previously described as a foot injury, Moore's now-updated ankle injury ruled him out before the Kansas team logged another exhibition game Tuesday, as confirmed by Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star. Now, the 2024-25 Jayhawks have completed their preseason schedule. This means Moore's earliest return date is Kansas' regular-season opener, currently scheduled for Monday against Howard.

Sits out exhibition vs. Arkansas Moore (foot) sat out Kansas' exhibition against Arkansas, Isaac Schade of Locked on Heels reports.

Impact Moore underwent foot surgery in September, and was expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Thus, it's no surprise that the guard was unable to play in Kansas' mid-October exhibition. The Mississippi State transfer averaged 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists last season.

Undergoes foot surgery Moore (foot) is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks after he underwent foot surgery on Monday, Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Moore suffered a broken foot during a pickup game two weeks ago which has required surgery to fix. The 6-foot-1 senior, who joined the Jayhawks this offseason, averaged 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals on 23.4 minutes per game with Mississippi State last season. Moore's status for Kansas's game against DII Washburn on Oct. 29, remains up in the air, but the senior guard shouldn't miss many games as a result of the injury, with his return timetable brushing right up against the start of the 2024-25 season.

In midst of down year Moore ended Tuesday's 86-82 loss to Ole Miss with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and two steals in 35 minutes.

Impact After averaging a career-best 9.8 ppg a season ago, Moore's scoring has taken a bit of a dip, due largely to a more diverse offensive attack. Tuesday was actually his second-best scoring total of the entire year, but also just the eighth time he's reached double figures. His assists are also a bit down from a season ago, but he's still logging 2.0 apg for fantasy managers.
