Kansas’ Darryn Peterson Ruled Out vs. Princeton With Hamstring Soreness

Bill Self says the injury is considered short term, with Peterson’s status to be reassessed before the Champions Classic.

Overview

Peterson missed Tuesday’s 77-46 win over Texas A&M–Corpus Christi after injuring his hamstring during a pregame shootaround.
Self said the soreness has lingered despite rehab work, and Peterson has not practiced the past two days.
The coach characterized the issue as not expected to be long term, but his return remains a day-to-day decision.
The freshman averaged 21.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in his first two games and is viewed as a top 2026 NBA draft prospect.
Kansas plans to evaluate his availability for Tuesday’s Champions Classic against No. 4 Duke and for the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas.
