Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski out against Wake Forest
Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski will not coach in Wednesday night’s game against Wake Forest the school announced. He is out with an illness that is not COVID-19 related. Associate head coach Jon Scheyer will take over head coaching duties while Krzyzewski is out.
Duke will be looking to get back on the right track after getting upset by Miami at Cameron Indoor on Saturday. They are currently in the middle of the pack in the ACC standings but have not had the opportunity to play some of their games thanks to COVID-19 cancelations.
