Javin DeLaurier Back For Duke As They Host Pittsburgh?

Duke who will welcome Pittsburgh to Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday afternoon will likely return a player who comes off the bench for Mike Krzyzewski in Javin DeLaurier.

Sophomore forward Javin DeLaurier posted a photo of himself during a game on Instagram Friday evening with the caption, "Good to be back." DeLaurier has missed Duke's last three games and four of its last six contests with hamstring injuries. The team could not officially confirm that DeLaurier will be back on the floor against the Panthers.
