It sounds like the staff is expecting Peterson to be able to play on Tuesday night.

KSU lost by 16 at home to BGSU. Colorado is currently losing at home to Cal Baptist early in the second half.

KU women are the 16th overall seed in the women's volleyball tournament. They will play High Point on Thursday night in Lawrence and if they win, will host either Miami or Tulsa in the second round. If KU reaches the Sweet 16, they will most likely be playing in Lincoln against #1 overall seed Nebraska who is currently 30-0 on the season. KU is 4-7 on the season against ranked teams so a Sweet 16 is probably as deep as we can expect because they likely aren't beating Nebraska if they get that far.

Bill Self released a statement saying DP will not go tonight, he is still not a 100% and is considered day to day at this point. @jayhawk_69 I keep hearing he never plays another game here from multiple sources so at this point can we not pay him and just send him on his way? If he doesn’t comeback for conference play and be able to go it ends up being a complete waste of millions.

Absolute worst advice he could get would be to sit out this season. The 2026 draft is projected to be one kfnthe deepest in years and could one day be discussed at the same level of 1984, 1996, and 2003 drafts. Peterson voluntarily sitting out the season would potentially drop him from #1 to outside the top 10 costing him millions of dollars. I feel like this is more the staff and trainers being overly cautious and protective of Peterson because he's potentially the best player Bill Self has ever coached.

@kjayhawks2.0 I’m calling “fan fiction “ on this one.

Kyrie Irving — 11 games → #1 pick
Darius Garland — 5 games → #5 pic

What will cost him millions is if he comes back before he is ready.

The 2026 draft class is way stronger than 2011 or 2019. Kyrie was the only hyped player coming out in 2011 and Garland probably could've been the 2nd pick behind Zion without his meniscus injury at Vandy.

You don't many projected draft classes that hyped as competition to 1984, 1996, and 2003 and 2026 is because it has 3 face of the NBA level prospects in Peterson, Dybansta, and Boozer along with several others projected to be potential all star level players.

I've been saying from when his injury happened that this isn't the year to load manage because of how deep this class is. Peterson sitting out doesn't line up with any previous reports about his work ethic and drive. There's a reason why 12 year NBA vet CJ McCollum is on record saying Peterson was NBA ready last season.

Sweet 16 opponent will be the winner of KSU/Nebraska that play today. I'd love for it to be KSU so we can smack the kitties again, but it would also take out the title favorites.
