Kansas star freshman Darryn Peterson is 'good to go' for the Jayhawks' game Saturday at Iowa State, Bill Self told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Friday.
Darryn Peterson comes alive late with back-to-back treys to lead No. 11 Kansas to a big road win in Lubbock. Peterson, the projected No. 1 pick in June's NBA draft, has missed 11 games this season, most of them because of a lingering hamstring issue.
A 6-foot-6 guard, Peterson played the first two games of the season before missing the next seven. He returned for two games but sat out for the overtime period against NC State on Dec. 13 before missing the next two games. Peterson has played nine of the past 11 games, missing a Jan. 24 game against Kansas State with an ankle injury. He also played just 20 minutes against BYU, sitting out nearly the entire second half despite scoring 18 points in the first half. On Monday, Peterson was initially expected to play, but he did not appear for pregame warmups and was ultimately ruled out. Despite the inconsistent availability, Peterson is averaging 20.5 points and 4.2 rebounds, shooting nearly 42% from 3-point range. Kansas won the first meeting against Iowa State back on Jan. 13, beating the Cyclones 84-63 in Lawrence. That victory jump-started Kansas' current eight-game winning streak. Peterson had 16 points in that game.
