Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. out until Big 12 play starts after breaking foot in practice

Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. will miss at least the rest of the nonconference schedule after breaking the fifth metatarsal in his foot during Monday practice. Coach Bill Self said Council is expected to undergo surgery in the next few days, with a possible return around the start of Big 12 play in January. Council started Kansas’ first two games this season and averaged 12.7 points last year.
