Duke is now going to prepare to host Clemson Tuesday night! in Durham for a 7:00pm tip off from Cameron Indoor Stadium! The game is going to be televised on ESPN2!
Though, yet again Duke is likely going to be without Trevor Keels again as Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski provided an update on Trevor Keels after Duke’s 79-59 win over Syracuse on Saturday. This is what he had to say!
Mike Krzyzewski said that Trevor Keels MRI did not reveal a serious injury, treatments have been effective. Though his right leg injury doesn’t appear to be something that will keep him out much longer.
I don’t know if he will be ready for Tuesday but I don’t think it will be long term.
Hopefully we can get Trevor back soon . When he got hurt against Florida State, it looked like it would be like an amazing thing. He’s responded really well.
