Phoenix Suns 2nd-rounder Alec Peters not letting injury slow him down

Alec Peters isn’t about to allow an injury to slow him down.

The 6-9 forward out of Valparaiso was selected by the Suns with the 54th overall pick in the second round last month, despite having suffered a right leg stress fracture that kept him out of the final four games of his college career and most of the pre-draft workout process.

On Thursday, he was doing individual drills and was quite active during the team’s summer league practice.

Peters is on the Suns' summer league roster, but won’t play.

“It’s tough, I haven’t missed many games in my life,” Peters said.
