Overview

  • Peterson missed his third straight game on Tuesday, a 78-66 loss to No. 5 Duke at the Champions Classic.
  • Self described the issue as hamstring tightness from a slight strain that currently limits Peterson’s ability to push off.
  • The staff is optimistic the absence will not be lengthy, though Self acknowledged Peterson could be unavailable for the Las Vegas event.
  • Kansas is set to face Notre Dame on Monday and Syracuse on Tuesday at the Players Era Festival, with a third opponent to follow.
  • Before the injury, the projected 2026 No. 1 NBA pick averaged 21.5 points in two games, while Tre White, Melvin Council Jr., Flory Bidunga, Jayden Dawson and Bryson Tiller have carried more of the load in his absence.
