Kansas G Darryn Peterson Won't Return Until 'Close to 100%'
Coach Bill Self agrees with Peterson's family to delay his return after nine missed games to ensure full recovery from quad and hamstring injuries.
- On Monday, Kansas coach Bill Self said he agrees with Peterson's family to delay Darryn Peterson's return until he is `as close to 100 percent as possible` and cannot judge his readiness from outside.
- Peterson has missed time after quad and hamstring injuries limited him to four games this season, and he has not played since Dec. 13; before Monday, Self had not discussed Peterson's family role in his playing status.

- Peterson is pushing to return, but Peterson's family prioritizes health as he remains a projected No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA draft, per ESPN mock draft coverage.
