College basketball might have a load management problem.
Darryn Peterson, the projected No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, sat out Monday night vs. No. 1-ranked Arizona, his eleventh missed game this season.
Kansas was still able to hand Arizona its first loss of the season even without the freshman phenom with a 82-78 victory.
Peterson, who draws comparisons to Kobe Bryant and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, has had trouble staying healthy this season.
He’s now missed games against UConn, Duke, and Arizona, and has sat out entire halves against notable opponents like BYU.
As one of the most anticipated games of the year, Peterson’s inability to play has drawn the ire of college basketball fans.
All eyes will be on Peterson to see how many more games he misses this season.
