Tre Jones To Return To The Lineup For Duke

Earlier this week Duke’s most important player and starting point guard went out with an injury in their loss to Syracuse at home.

The good news is Tre Jones will be back sooner rather then later.

“I don’t know if it’s for this game or the next game, but it’s not going to be long term, where it’s a month or something," Krzyzewski said. “He’s going to be back.’’ “according to https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2019/01/17/mike-krzyzewski-duke-tre-jones-injury-wrist-point-guard

Jones sprained his AC joint while diving for a loose ball against Syracuse on Monday. He was originally deemed out indefinitely but should return to the lineup in January. Jones hasn't been declared inactive for Saturday's matchup against No. 4 Virginia, though he is unlikely to play, per The Athletic's Dana O'Neil. “according to https://www.si.com/college-basketball/2019/01/17/mike-krzyzewski-duke-tre-jones-injury-wrist-point-guard
