Kansas freshman guard Darryn Peterson will be out for a third consecutive game with a hamstring strain when the No. 24 Jayhawks face No. 5 Duke on Tuesday in New York.
Peterson is a Naismith High School Player of the Year winner last season as well as a McDonald’s All-American. He scored 21 points in a victory during his college debut against Green Bay on Nov. 3 and added 22 in a loss at North Carolina on Nov. 7.
The injury forced Peterson to miss Kansas’ victories over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Princeton.
After Tuesday’s neutral-court game against Duke, the Jayhawks do not play again until Monday when they face Notre Dame in the Players Era event at Las Vegas.
Peterson’s injury is scheduled to be re-evaluated at the end of the week, according to head coach Bill Self.
