KJ Adams wound up playing his final game for Kansas basketball on Thursday night, and it ended in devastating fashion. The 6-foot-7 forward suffered a non-contact injury in an NCAA Tournament Round of 64 matchup versus Arkansas and immediately grabbed his Achilles area. He was helped off the floor and exited to the locker room, via ESPN’s Jeff Borzello, clearly unable to return to the game.

The immediate fear is that Adams tore his Achilles, which would obviously hit fans hard. This player is arguably the glue of the program, so seeing him denied the chance to end his college career on his own terms is heartbreaking. Kansas imploded following his departure, committing one turnover after another en route to a 79-72 loss to the Razorbacks.
