LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas men’s basketball head coach Bill Self announced that freshman guard Bobby Pettiford underwent season-ending surgery Thursday.
“Bobby had successful surgery to repair a core muscle in his pelvic area that has hampered him since this past fall,” Self said. “In these last couple of weeks, it’s become apparent it was best to go ahead and have the surgery now. Bobby should return to basketball activities in four to six weeks.”
Pettiford played in 14 games in 2021-22, including six Big 12 contests. The Durham, North Carolina, point guard averaged 8.0 minutes, 1.4 points and 0.9 assists per contest.
