Kansas star Darryn Peterson could be the top target of several NBA teams during next June's draft. However, the projected No. 1 pick hit a speed bump early this season. After appearing in Kansas' first two games, Peterson missed seven games due to a hamstring strain.

However, the Freshman phenom returned from a month-long absence during Sunday's 80-60 win over Missouri and made it through unscathed. Peterson played 23 minutes during the blowout victory, posting 17 points, three rebounds and an assist on 6-of-14 shooting from the field and 3-of-9 from three.

Kansas head coach Bill Self told 247 Sports that Peterson has practiced with “no issues” following the win and is on track to play on Saturday vs. NC State.
