Darryn Peterson impresses with dunk in Summer League matchup against Clippers

Darryn Peterson, the No. 2 pick in this year's NBA Draft, showcased his skills during the Summer League game between the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers on July 12, 2026. Despite the Jazz losing 104-82, Peterson drew significant attention for a 'nasty poster dunk' over Baba Miller in the first quarter. He recorded 23 points, 5 assists, and helped limit fellow rookie Keaton Wagler to just 1-of-7 shooting before halftime. Wagler would later respond with 18 points in the third quarter, tying Peterson for the game's scoring lead. Sources indicate Peterson will not play in Utah's next game against the Chicago Bulls.
