Darryn Peterson blames cramping issues at Kansas on high doses of creatine

Darryn Peterson, a projected top pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, said the cramping issues that plagued his 2025-26 season at Kansas were caused by high doses of creatine, telling ESPN doctors discovered the issue after the season.“I’d never taken (creatine) before (college),” Peterson told ESPN in an article published Friday. “But after the season, I took two weeks off and they did tests which showed my baseline level was already high. So, they said when I dosed (increasing a dose over time to create maximum benefit at the beginning of taking a supplement), it must’ve made the levels unsafe.”Advertisement
