Self says Stewart not involved in altercation

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas basketball player Rodrick Stewart had to have four staples put in his head after being hit in a bar fight early Sunday, coach Bill Self said.

Police said there were no arrests in the incident at Abe and Jake's Landing, a nightspot on the north edge of downtown.

In a statement issued by the school, Self said Stewart was apparently hit with an object while climbing the stairs out of the club.

"All reports we have received indicate Rodrick had no involvement in the altercation other than him being hit over the head while going up the stairs," Self said.

Self also said Stewart, a 6-foot-4 sophomore guard who transferred last year from Southern California, did not violate any team policies by being in the bar.

Shooting guard J.R. Giddens, then a member of Kansas' team, and five other people were injured May 19 in a fight outside another bar. No charges have been filed in that case.

Giddens, who played for John Marshall High School in Oklahoma City, had to have 30 stitches to close a wound that severed an artery in his right calf. He announced in July that he would transfer to New Mexico.

Maybe Kansas basketball players just like sewing and stapling their bodies, and this is the only way they can make that happen. I dunno...
