Injured Duke starter has 'outside chance' of returning vs. St. John's
Caleb Foster has missed the past five games for the Duke Blue Devils, but Jon Scheyer has a key update on his status ahead of the Sweet 16.
The Duke Blue Devils are set to play the St. John's Red Storm on Friday in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament, and they could be getting a key player back for the matchup. Duke head coach Jon Scheyer spoke with John Rothstein of CBS Sports and revealed that starting point guard Caleb Foster has a chance to play in Friday's game.
"The way that he has worked, the chances have continued to increase. I even think that there is an outside chance, maybe, for Friday," he said. "He's trying to do the impossible here and come back as soon as he can.
This weekend, I don't think that I can rule it out because of who he is and how he's been working. " Foster broke his foot in the regular season finale against North Carolina and has missed the past five games for the Blue Devils. The junior had started 30 of their 31 games before suffering the injury, averaging 8.
5 points, 2. 8 assists, and 3. 6 rebounds per game.
