After news broke Monday that senior Amile Jefferson will be sidelined indefinitely with a right foot injury, No. 7 Duke returns to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a matchup with Georgia Southern.
Duke captain Amile Jefferson will be sidelined indefinitely by a right foot injury, the program announced late Monday afternoon. The senior had been averaging a double-double.

Sophomore Grayson Allen picked up his first career double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds as Duke tamed the Bulls Saturday.
The Bulls will finally make the trip to the Bull City, but there will be no Bobby Hurley at the helm.

No. 7 Duke plays host to the Hoosiers at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium as one of the final matchups in the three-day inter-conference battle. Since the inception of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge 17 years ago, the Blue Devils have posted a 14-2 record—the best mark of any team in either conference.

The Blue Devils wound up with a lopsided victory Wednesday night, but they were forced to wake up in a hurry after a sluggish start.
It’s been a very, very long time since Duke squared off against Yale. So long, in fact, that it was someone other than Mike Krzyzewski patrolling the sidelines for the Blue Devils.
Grayson Allen's 62-point weekend and the emergence of Derryck Thornton as another scoring option in the backcourt gives Duke reason for optimism moving forward.
