Samis Calderon - Questionable to play Saturday Calderon is questionable for Saturday's game against Cincinnati due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Calderon has logged 13 appearances off the bench this season, but he's averaging a mere 4.5 minutes per game. That means his potential absence in fantasy won't be a big deal in most formats.

Bryson Tiller - Valuable chip down the stretch Tiller provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 81-69 victory over Oklahoma State.

Impact Tiller recorded his second double double while setting new season highs with his 11 rebounds and seven assists. It was also the fourth time in five games the freshman forward has rejected multiple shots. While Tiller's offensive role remains relatively limited, he's proving to be a valuable chip for the Jayhawks down the stretch, averaging 12.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals while shooting 53.6-percent from the floor adn 41.7-percent from beyond the arc across 32.4 minutes over his last seven games.

Wilder Evers - Not on report Evers (undisclosed) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Oklahoma State.

Impact Evers is a depth option on Kansas' backcourt, so even if he's cleared to return, he won't carry a lot of fantasy upside. He's appeared in just five games this season while averaging a mere 1.2 minutes per contest.

Bill Self addresses controversial Darryn Peterson decision after loss to Iowa State | Sporting News Bill Self explains why freshman star Darryn Peterson sat the final seven minutes against Iowa State.

FEBRUARY 15 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Darryn Peterson - Not much going against Cyclones Peterson chipped in 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 23 minutes during Saturday's 74-56 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Peterson was back after missing Monday's impressive victory over top-ranked Arizona due to illness, and while he chipped in a few buckets, he also committed three turnovers and didn't offer anything peripherally in what turned out to be a lopsided loss. In fact, it was his lowest scoring total in any game this season. Meanwhile, Melvin Council ended up leading the way with 15 points. One down game certainly doesn't hurt Peterson's status as one of the top, if not the top, picks in next summer's NBA Draft, but it's certainly been frustrating for fantasy managers who used significant draft capital on the highly-touted freshman.
