Freshman center Jeff Withey will be out four to six weeks with a knee injury. He will not be able to practice until Dec. 1.

Kansas coach Bill Self announced Thursday freshman center Jeff Withey will be out four to six weeks with a knee injury.

Withey will be out of practice until Dec. 1, Self said during Big 12 Basketball Media Day at the Sprint Center.

Withey is a redshirt freshman and will not be able to play until after the fall semester because he transferred from Arizona. NCAA rules require that transfer players sit out the first semester.
