Rolled his ankle but apparently it's not bad and hes in a boot for precautionary reasons
Joey baker out tonight vs clemson
- Thread starter Dukeblue4ever
- Start date
So is 8 enough lol or do we think Justin will get some burn?
i don't think JRob will play, unless we need a shooter and don't need help on the boards, but wouldn't mind it. I remember the game vs. UNX I think when Vrank came in and saved the day. Who would have thought?
Would be nice to have Wendell tonight since Joey can't go. All of a sudden we go from a super deep team to a typical Duke team.
In my opinion we will be fine tonight. O'Connell and white will both play extra mins
UNC would kill to be a typical Duke team right now, haha.
Hopefully Joey will be back soon. Thank goodness we're blessed with quality depth this year because it seems the injury bug has not abated.

We have finally got a deep team. I sure hope the injury bug doesn't become contagious and strip us of all our depth. We have no players that are used to playing alot of minutes every game this year compared to years past. This could really cause us major problems if this injury bug continues!!!! Please no more injuries tonight!!!

Clemson wants this one bad, and will be stoked for a big win. However, they are playing a wounded young team that is proving to be "fearless". May be tight early, but Duke will pull away.
Go Duke!

True for the most part that most of our players aren’t used to playing a lot of minutes every game this season, the only exception is Tre, he’s playing 32.6 minutes per game but everyone else is playing less than 24 minutes per game.
Was thinking the same thing last night. I felt like he would have gave more than Hurt.
I hope Joey is back Saturday for sure. He’s proven he can contribute, and I think he brings good energy.
However if he were in the game last night he would have been a liability on defense. I think we needed to go small like we did earlier in the year to guard the perimeter and cuts. I think we really missed Moore last night and when Stanley picked up his 4th foul it got even tougher to contain them.

Cassius got hosed last night for his four fouls. Two were not fouls and one was Tre’s fault. I think it’s a fair argument that if he didn’t have those fouls and could be on the floor, we have a win.
Looks like Joey is good to go Saturday
