It is Peterson's 11th game missed of the season as he's continuously dealt with injuries and cramping issues. He is projected to be the number one pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Peterson had played 35 and 33 minutes in his last two games, the most he's played all season.
They'll have a tough task without the freshman guard, as they welcome an undefeated Arizona team. Sophomore guard Jamari McDowell will start in Peterson's place.
Bill Self is 38-0 in Allen Fieldhouse on Big Monday, while Kansas has never beaten the No. 1 ranked team in Allen Fieldhouse.
