Injury updates

Caleb Foster

Foster suffered a fractured foot in the regular-season finale at North Carolina. He has been sidelined since and is expected to miss additional time while he recovers.

He continues to provide a presence on the bench. Scheyer said Foster shoots frequently while riding a scooter and stays very involved.

Patrick Ngongba

Ngongba has shown encouraging signs during rehabilitation. He has been working with the medical staff and following specific therapy benchmarks.

Scheyer described the process as day-to-day. He called Ngongba’s improvement positive but did not commit to a timeline for a return later in the week.

Duke will proceed cautiously with both players as it heads into the tournament. Reported by Filmogaz.com.
