Seems like RM has been in shut down mode for a couple of weeks. If he is to be effective this season he needs to get in the rotation sooner than later. Anyone know if he is even practicing. Seems his speed and experience would help with some of our late game issues!

I've not seen anything new since this Feb 11 article
KUSports.com - Tait: Injured guard Remy Martin still making his presence felt from the bench
Critical comments:
Self said earlier this week that Martin would not play Saturday versus Oklahoma, but the hope was that he could be ready by the end of next week. That would mean at least two more missed games for Martin because KU plays host to Oklahoma State on Monday, two days after the Saturday showdown with the Sooners.
Self said Tuesday that those in the program, including Martin, remained optimistic about his return. And the hope was that he could come back a couple of weeks before the postseason arrives, giving him time to work out whatever rust might be present and rekindle some chemistry with the rest of the Jayhawks’ lineup.
In the meantime, Self said Martin will continue to do what he can to help his teammates, and he added that Martin has taken a particular interest in helping Joe Yesufu find his footing.
“He really wants Joe to be successful,” Self said.
Yesufu has done just that in the past 10 days, handling a larger role and playing some of the minutes that have been available with Martin sidelined. Self made sure to point out, though, that no one on the roster sees the situation as Yesufu auditioning to take Martin’s spot.
“It’s not replacing him,” Self said. “It’s a guy playing his minutes in his absence. I don’t think Remy’s worried about that at all. I think what he’s most concerned about is just our team doing well. We need Joe to play because we can’t play Ochai (Agbaji) 40 minutes. We can’t play these other guys 40 minutes. So we need Joe to do what he’s doing in addition to Remy being back.”
