Kansas freshman Darryn Peterson is ruled out for the Players Era Festival.

Former Temple guard Hysier Miller placed dozens of bets on Owls games, including some against his team, the NCAA announced Friday. The NCAA deemed Miller permanently ineligible after finding he placed 42 parlay bets totaling $473 on Temple games during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. Three of those bets were against his team, the NCAA said.

No. 24 Kansas will be without standout freshman Darryn Peterson for a tournament in Las Vegas next week, coach Bill Self said Friday. The nation’s top recruit and potentially the top pick in next year’s NBA draft will miss games against Notre Dame, Syracuse and a yet-to-be-determined third opponent because of a lingering hamstring injury. "So we’re hopeful he’s running and cutting and doing all those things while we’re in Vegas, but not to the point where he’s probably ready to play.”
