Ayoka Lee, the 14th-ranked Wildcats’ leading scorer and rebounder, has been sidelined since Jan. 19 when she suffered a fracture in her foot against Arizona State. However, Mittie said he’s still hopeful Lee will play Saturday when K-State hosts rival Kansas.

“There’s been nothing that would indicate anything differently than that,” he said.

Coaches have been optimistic about Lee’s return before the end of the regular season since they first announced the injury. Mittie said Lee has been ramping back up to where she was before getting hurt, including an individual workout before the Wildcats’ game at Cincinnati on Wednesday. Now, she’s running, jumping and doing agility training as well as “basketball stuff,” according to Mittie.

No. 11 Kansas State women’s basketball star center Ayoka Lee left Sunday’s game against Arizona State with an apparent lower leg injury, and it doesn’t sound like she’ll be back soon.

Lee, the all-time leading scorer in program history, went off the court midway through the second quarter and appeared to limp on her way to the locker room, where she remained for the rest of the first half.

She didn’t return for the second.

“It’s not good, guys,” head coach Jeff Mittie said. “It’s not good. I don’t have a definitive update, but it’s not going to be a week or two.”
