Overview
- Peterson disclosed Friday to ESPN that doctors linked his cramps to high-dose creatine after post‑season bloodwork showed his baseline level was already elevated.
- He said he stopped the supplement and has had no further cramping while training in Los Angeles for next week’s NBA Draft Combine in Chicago.
- The freshman guard missed 11 of 35 games and sometimes asked out midgame as cramps and minor injuries disrupted an otherwise 20.2‑point season.
- A full‑body cramp during September boot camp led to an ambulance trip and hospital care, an episode he recalled as feeling life‑threatening at the time.
- With the draft lottery on Sunday and medicals and workouts ahead, teams now can judge a top‑pick candidate with a specific, apparently correctable cause for his past issues.
