Duke's Patrick Ngongba II reportedly set to play vs. TCU despite using scooter to enter arena
Ngongba hasn't played since he missed Duke's regular-season finale against North Carolina.
Patrick Ngongba II’s return to the court for Duke appears to be imminent even though he’s still using a scooter. Ngongba, who has been out with what Duke has said is a sore right foot since the end of the regular season, was seen entering Bon Secours Wellness Arena with a boot on his right foot ahead of No. 1 Duke’s second-round game against No.
9 TCU on Saturday. Your No. 1 Duke Blue Devils have arrived on the scene for the Round of 32.
Ngongba last through the door, wearing his boot and still using the knee walker... gotta wait until end of this long video I took to see him. 😈🏀📹⬇️ pic.
