Summary

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self provided an update on Christian Reeves' recovery from his shoulder injury. Reeves, a transfer from Charleston, is expected to be limited to non-contact practice until early to mid-October. Self is optimistic that Reeves will be ready for full-speed participation by the start of the season, though concerns remain about his competition for a starting position with teammate Paul Mbiya.
