Kansas vs Cincinnati basketball injury report, March 13: Latest on Hunter Dickinson, Kevin McCullar Jr and more

The Cincinnati Bearcats and the 16th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks are preparing to face off in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament. Several players are on the injury report ahead of this game. Let's dive into their availability:

Kansas vs Cincinnati injury report

Kevin McCullar Jr, Kansas

Senior guard Kevin McCullar Jr. is suffering from a knee injury and has been ruled out of the Big 12 Tournament. He is averaging 34.3 minutes and is the program's leading scorer with 18.3 points per game. McCullar has been a strong shooter, shooting 45.4% from the floor, 33.3% from beyond the arc and 80.5% from the charity stripe.

Hunter Dickinson, Kansas

Senior center Hunter Dickinson has been ruled out of tonight's game with a shoulder injury. Gay Bedore of the KC Star reported coach Bill Self is not too worried about Dickinson's injury hampering his opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament.

Dickinson suffered a dislocated shoulder on Saturday and was forced to leave the game against Houston.

"The MRI provided good news on Dickinson. No surgery is needed. Self stresses he thinks Dickinson will be ready to go for NCAAs and not be hindered by the shoulder," Bedore wrote on X.

Dickinson is averaging 18.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks. His absence will be tough on the Jayhawks in this matchup.

Viktor Lakhin, Cincinnati

Junior forward Viktor Lakhin is questionable for this game as he recovers from a hip injury. He has not suited up for the Bearcats since March 2 against the Kansas State Wildcats.

Lakhin has been a solid player for Cincinnati this season, averaging 9.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 steals in 23.0 minutes per game. He has a 49.8/25.9/55.7 shooting split.
