Peterson ended with 15 points (4-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 94-82 Summer League loss to the Spurs.
After resting Monday, Peterson returned to action Wednesday but struggled to find his shot, finishing with his lowest scoring output of the summer. In his previous four appearances between the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas portions of the Summer League, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft had scored at least 20 points in each contest. Peterson figures to play a significant role from the outset of the 2026-27 regular season.

Rotowire
Peterson finished with 23 points (6-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks over 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Clippers.
Peterson showcased his explosiveness with a vicious throwdown early in the game, and while he didn't have his most efficient outing, he did an excellent job drawing contact and getting to the free-throw line. He's been one of the standout performers at Summer League, elevating expectations for his already highly anticipated rookie season.

Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Eight turnovers in loss
Rotowire
Peterson finished with 24 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 30 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League loss to Washington.
Peterson was productive during the Salt Lake City Summer League. Although he kept it going on the scoring end Thursday, he was inefficient shooting the ball. Turnovers were also an issue once again, as the 2026 No. 2 overall pick committed eight on the night. It's unclear how much action Peterson will see throughout his time in Las Vegas, though it's reasonable to believe he will clean up some of those issues, especially once he adjusts to the speed of the professional level.

Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Impresses in SL win
Rotowire
Peterson posted 25 points (8-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 assists, two rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Monday's 109-100 Salt Lake City Summer League win over the Grizzlies.
Peterson stuffed the stat sheet in this one, dropping a game-high 25 points after scoring 28 in his first appearance in Salt Lake City. The second overall pick in this year's draft also showcased his playmaking ability, pacing all players with 12 assists after dishing out just two dimes in his previous outing. Additionally, the rookie guard has now generated two combined steals-plus-blocks in back-to-back games.

Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Scores 28 points with two swats
Rotowire
Peterson popped off for 28 points (11-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime win over the Hawks.
Peterson showed off his defensive hustle with a chase-down block early in the game, and he wasn't shy about asserting himself on offense. The No. 2 overall pick carved up the Hawks' defense with ease before icing the game with a clutch step-back three in the closing seconds of overtime. The rookie will look to build on the performance Monday against Memphis.
Peterson was selected by the Jazz with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Peterson entered the collegiate ranks as one of the most highly touted recruits in the country and showed flashes of greatness during his lone season at Kansas. Recurring cramping issues occasionally impacted his availability, but the guard was a dynamic scorer when on the floor, averaging 20.2 points on 43.8 percent shooting from the field and 38.2 percent from beyond the arc to go along with 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.0 minutes per contest across 24 appearances. The 19-year-old primarily operated off the ball in college and therefore still has room to grow as a playmaker and ballhandler, but Peterson's pure scoring ability makes it easy to understand why he was selected at No. 2 overall and is viewed as a potential superstar. With the Jazz, Peterson will slot into the backcourt alongside emerging standout Keyonte George (hamstring) as Utah attempts to turn the corner on its rebuild.
