US EditionKansas' Darryn Peterson to miss another game because of lingering hamstring issue
Kansas freshman Darryn Peterson missed two games due to a hamstring injury; coach Bill Self said the issue is not expected to be long-term.
- Bill Self announced Friday that Darryn Peterson, Kansas freshman, will miss Saturday's Princeton game due to a lingering hamstring, adding 'we don't think it's a long-term deal at all.'
- After a shootaround injury on Tuesday, team staff noted Darryn Peterson practiced that day but, Bill Self said, 'it just feels tight, and it still felt tight yesterday.'
- Peterson, the nation's top-ranked recruit, scored 21 points in 22 minutes in his college debut and 22 against North Carolina as a potential No. 1 pick next year.
- Resting Peterson, Kansas coaches plan to avoid playing him until the hamstring eases, with the big question being if he returns for high-profile games next week, including the Champions Classic vs Duke.
- Next on the schedule, Kansas travels to Las Vegas for the Players Era Festival with guaranteed games against Notre Dame and Syracuse, then hosts third-ranked UConn on Dec. 2 before facing Missouri and N.C. State.
