Was available against Baylor Grant-Foster was available during Monday's 77-69 loss to Baylor but ended up not seeing the floor, Benton Smith of KU Sports reports.

Impact Grant-Foster didn't play Monday as head coach Bill Self stuck with a tight 8-man rotation for the game. The 6-7 junior saw a nice run earlier in the season but has seen his minutes decrease drastically since the Jayhawks have started conference play. Grant-Foster is a junior college transfer and reportedly hasn't been developing in practice as quickly as coach Self would like, which is part of the reasoning he hasn't been playing much. Self wants to integrate him into the gameplan more but will have to see more improvements before he can trust playing Grant-Foster in big-time moments.

Sits against Baylor Grant-Foster did not play in Monday's loss to Baylor.

Impact A shoulder injury limited the junior to just one minute of action last week against Oklahoma State, and after a weekend game against Iowa State was cancelled, Grant-Foster remained unavailable into the following week.

Bryce Thompson (finger) also suffered an injury during the contest and is slated to miss time. Grant-Foster is a candidate to pick up some of his slack, so he'll look to overcome his shoulder injury to take advantage of his opportunity.

Important minutes off bench Grant-Foster put up eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, two steals, and two blocks off the bench in Saturday's win over North Dakota State.

Impact Grant-Foster stepped up for the Jayhawks and provided some really important minutes in what turned out to be a close win over North Dakota State. Coach Bill Self decided to go small once again, allowing Grant-Foster to play 22 minutes to center David McCormack's 13 minutes. Dajuan Harris and Bryce Thompson had played more minutes than Grant-Foster in the first few games this season, but we'll see if that changes at all going forward.
