Kansas head coach Bill Self has announced guard Elmarko Jackson will miss the 2024-2025 season due to an injury. Jackson tore his patellar tendon on Tuesday when working a camp and after getting an MRI, he will need a full 12 months to recover.
A big loss for the Jayhawks a few months out from the beginning of the season. Based on the timeline, Jackson should be back in the summer of 2025 and ready to contribute in his third season on campus.
“Yesterday, while working out in front of the campers, Elmarko Jackson tore his patellar tendon, an MRI conducted by the Kansas team health confirmed last night,” Self said in a statement. “It will require surgery within the next several days and a full recovery is anticipated. Elmarko will be able to assume non-contract basketball duties in the next several months but the full rehab process will take approximately 12 months.
“We are all crushed by this. Elmarko” has had a terrific spring. He has worked so hard and improved so much. This will be a challenge that he will meet head on and he will return as good as ever.”
