Kansas Guard Elmarko Jackson to Miss Season After Serious Knee Injury

Jackson's torn patellar tendon will require surgery and a year-long rehabilitation, impacting the Jayhawks' backcourt depth.

Jackson suffered the injury during a scrimmage at Bill Self's basketball camp.
The sophomore guard started 17 games as a freshman and was expected to play a key role this season.
Coach Bill Self expressed deep disappointment but confidence in Jackson's recovery.
Kansas will look to adjust its roster and may recruit additional players.
Jackson's absence places added responsibility on senior Dajuan Harris Jr. and transfer Zeke Mayo.
