Duke junior Jeremy Roach will miss Saturday’s game against Boston College due a re-aggravation of a toe injury, according to a release from the program.

Roach initially suffered a toe injury back in December and missed time on the court. The No. 16 Blue Devils lost to NC State Jan. 4 where Roach played just 23 minutes and scored only four points.

The 11-4 Blue Devils tip off at 1:00 p.m. ET at Boston College (8-7).

In 14 games this season, Roach is off to the best start of his college career. He averaged 11.9 points per game, 2.5 rebounds per game, 3.2 assists per game, shot 38.3% from the floor and 32.3% from the three-point range.

His career average in scoring is 9.2 points per game, so it’s safe to say Duke will miss out with Roach not on the court against the Eagles.
