"During shooting, you know there are a lot of balls bouncing around and managers are rebounding. One of our managers went for a ball and poked him in the eye," Krzyzewski said. "He had a puffy eye and [it was] swollen. His eyeball was scratched and he could not play. He felt better afterwards, saw our top eye person here, Terry Kim, yesterday and he'll be ready to go for practice today." “according to https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/02/duke-basketball-cassius-stanley-eye-injury
