Perry Ellis’ recovery ‘on schedule’ as he returns to KU practice
After practicing on Tuesday, Kansas junior forward Perry Ellis is “on schedule” in his recovery from a knee sprain and could play Thursday in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals, KUcoach Bill Self said Tuesday.
“Perry was evaluated today and the doctors feel that he is right on schedule,” Self said. “He did some basketball activity on Monday. He practiced today, but is still on a limited basis.”

Self is hopeful that Ellis can participate in the Jayhawks’ entire practice today and be ready for Thursday. KU plays the K-State-TCU winner around 2 p.m. at the Sprint Center.
“It will still be a game-day decision on whether or not he plays,” Self said, “but he is progressing nicely.”
