Kansas' Darryn Peterson Expected to Play vs. Missouri, Barring Setback
Self says clearance hinges on full-speed readiness following two practices plus intensive treatment.
Overview
- The freshman guard practiced for two straight days and is listed as available unless a pregame issue arises, according to Bill Self.
- Peterson missed seven games with a hamstring injury after a strong two-game start to the season.
- Self said Peterson has received treatment four times daily and will not be used unless he is fully ready.
- Kansas went 5-2 in Peterson’s absence with improved defense but a dip in offensive efficiency while leaning on bigs Flory Bidunga and Bryson Tiller.
- Sunday’s Border War is in Kansas City, and both Kansas and Missouri enter off losses earlier this week.
