Darryn Peterson Could Return From Hamstring Injury for No. 21 Kansas Against No. 5 UConn
Peterson could start after missing six games due to injury, boosting Kansas' offense and complicating scouting for UConn and other upcoming opponents, coach said.
- Bill Self said Monday that Darryn Peterson has looked good in practice, but team doctors will decide Tuesday if he's available against No. 5 UConn at Allen Fieldhouse.
- The injury first surfaced during an exhibition vs. Louisville and was described as hamstring tightness that caused cramping, limiting Darryn Peterson to four minutes in the second half against Green Bay.
- Viewed as the nation's top recruit, Darryn Peterson scored 21 points in 22 minutes against Green Bay and 22 points in 28 minutes against North Carolina, with many NBA mock drafts projecting him as the No. 1 pick in June.
- If cleared, Peterson will start, according to Self, adding a creator to Kansas' 6-2 start where Flory Bidunga and newcomers have stepped up.
- Self stressed the medical testing required before clearance, saying, `Self noted` that Peterson must pass strength and flexibility tests, and team doctors will decide after ramping workload since last week.
