— -- Kansas sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr., was arrested Thursday on suspicion of domestic battery against a family member.

The 6-foot-9 Bragg remained in Douglas County jail Friday, according to the Kansas City Star. Police provided no details about the arrest.

"We're still trying to gather as much information as we can," Kansas head coach Bill Self said via statement. "I will not comment further until we are able to get information other than the fact that it's obviously a charge that we take seriously."

Bragg is averaging 7.8 points and 5.3 rebounds. He recently lost his starting spot and has seen his minutes dwindle for a Kansas team that is ranked third in the country and will play Nebraska Saturday in Lawrence.

Bragg was a McDonald's All-American coming out of high school in Cleveland -- and was considered a potential first-round NBA Draft pick entering this season.
