Arthur injures leg, out at least a month

By Dylan Schoonover

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

For the second time this offseason, a Jayhawk basketball player will be sidelined with a leg injury.

Sophomore forward Darrell Arthur suffered a stress fracture in his lower left leg and will be forced to miss the 2007 FIBA U19 World Championship in Serbia. Arthur said in a press release that he was disappointed to miss the World Championship. He had been playing with the injury since July 3 but said he didn’t think it was a fracture.

“I thought it was just tendonitis or something and I would be able to play through it,” Arthur said in a press release. “The trainer told me to see the doctor and after some tests he confirmed it was a stress fracture and I would be out a month or two. When I heard it was a stress fracture, I was surprised.”

Arthur was one of 12 players selected nationally to represent the United States Under 19 squad. According to the press release, Arthur said he had never traveled overseas and would have enjoyed the opportunity to play in Serbia.

Kansas coach Bill Self said in the press release that he understood Arthur’s disappointment. Self said the injury should be healed in four-to-six weeks.

“He did very well in Dallas and was expected to play well in Serbia representing our country,” Self said. If this had to happen, it was good it happened now because we expect a complete recovery and for him to be at full speed before the start of school.”

Arthur will return from practicing in Dallas and begin treatment this week in Lawrence. Both Arthur and junior Brandon Rush have suffered leg injuries this summer. On May 29, Rush tore his ACL before working out for NBA teams. Rush had surgery and is expected to be out until at least November.
