Overview
- The Utah Jazz selected Darryn Peterson with the No. 2 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and have confirmed he will play for their Summer League roster in Salt Lake City.
- Peterson averaged 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and shot 38.2% from three in 24 games at Kansas while missing 11 games because of hamstring issues, flu-like symptoms and recurring cramping.
- Peterson has said his cramps were linked to high doses of creatine, and pre-draft medical checks did not produce major red flags for teams that reported on him.
- Summer League games are scheduled for July 4, 6 and 7 for the Jazz with a possible July 9 matchup versus the Washington Wizards and broadcasts reported across ESPN networks, NBA TV or NBA League Pass.
- What to watch: minutes and on-court availability, how he handles pick-and-roll and off-screen duties the Jazz highlighted, and whether a strong showing eases public doubts about his durability and consistency.
