Kansas faces Kansas State after Davis' 25-point game
Peterson has missed multiple games this season due to injury, increasing pressure on senior guards Tre White and Melvin Council Jr., coach Bill Self said.
- On Jan. 24, 2026, the Kansas Jayhawks will face the Kansas State Wildcats without freshman guard Darryn Peterson, confirmed in a game-day update.
- Peterson has been dealing with an ankle injury since the Colorado win earlier in the week and tested it at shoot-around but couldn't get loose.
- Absence increases pressure on senior guards Tre White and Melvin Council Jr. and sophomore forward Flory Bidunga to sustain Kansas Jayhawks’ 74.5 points average.
- If not long-term, Peterson would be in line to play the Jan. 31 home game at Allen Fieldhouse against BYU freshman AJ Dybantsa, with ESPN’s College GameDay attending.
- Previously, Peterson missed nine non-conference games but had played in each of KU’s Big 12 games until now, marking the latest game he will miss this season.
