Kansas' Darryn Peterson out for Players Era Festival

Kansas star freshman Darryn Peterson will miss the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas next week due to his hamstring strain, coach Bill Self told reporters Friday.

The decision means Peterson will miss games against Notre Dame, Syracuse and a to-be-determined third opponent that will be played Monday through Wednesday.

"We're not going to have Darryn in Vegas," Self told reporters. "Although, we have reevaluated, and he's right there close. But he hasn't quite done enough to put him in position to go out and play multiple games in a short span like that.
