Darryn Peterson will miss another game for No. 25 Kansas this weekend because of a lingering hamstring issue, Bill Self said Friday, though the Jayhawks coach added “we don't think it's a long-term deal at all.” The nation's top-ranked recruit, and potentially the No. 1 pick in next year's NBA draft, missed Tuesday night’s 77-46 rout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi after hurting himself in a shootaround earlier in the day. The big question is whether Peterson will be back for some high-profile games beginning next week.
