Ryan Kelly's is one step closer to returning. But he's not quite there yet.
According to ESPN's Andy Katz, the senior forward will dress but not play tonight against Virginia. He has not dressed since injuring his foot Jan. 8 against Clemson.
From our game crew: Duke's Ryan Kelly practiced today and will dress but won't play at Virginia.
