And it's his fault (he instigated the fight according to witnesses).

Kansas guard and former Oklahoma City prep star J.R. Giddens was the primary instigator of the fight outside a bar that led to his stabbing, witnesses told The Kansas City Star in Friday's edition.
Giddens, a 20-year-old sophomore who averaged 10.1 points last season, is expected to be on crutches for at least six weeks after the artery in his right calf was severed during the fight. Coach Bill Self has not said if Giddens will be disciplined by the university, and deferred comment until after the investigation.
So far, no charges have been filed.
The fight happened around 2 a.m. May 19 outside the Moon Bar, about a mile from the campus in Lawrence.
Four witnesses, including two other stabbing victims, said Giddens and at least 10 other men attacked Jeremiah Creswell as he stood outside the bar. Creswell, 24, of Olathe, Kan., admitted being intoxicated and told the Star that Giddens had confronted him inside, asking if he "had a problem," and continued the confrontation outside.
Witnesses said Creswell was beaten with fists, bricks and bottles, and kicked. He used a 4-inch folding knife to stab some of the attackers.
