It looks like Kyrie Irving's father, Drederick, was correct all along when he said that his son would have his cast removed Feb. 4. Irving will indeed have his cast removed this week, head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the St. John's loss.
But, the coach warned, this could really just mean another step in his indefinitely long rehabilitation.
“We’re not looking for him to come back,” Krzyzewski said. “We’re looking for him to get well.”
More frustratingly inconclusive news for Duke fans.
NOTE: The New York Daily News's Dick Weiss tweeted after the game yesterday that Krzyzewski's quote meant Irving was done for the year. This, to the best of our knowledge, is false.
