Joey Baker Is Out For Duke

Wendell Moore Jr. is recovering from surgery on his broken right hand he suffered at Miami but he won’t be alone on the bench when Duke who is ranked third in the country visits South Carolina where they will take on Clemson on Tuesday night.

Joey Baker has developed into a deadly weapon from beyond the arc. The North Carolina native is averaging 6.5 points on 43.5 percent shooting from 3-point range and has also made his first two career starts this season. Despite inconsistent shooting and only playing four minutes against Georgia Tech, Baker played a key role in the latest Blue Devil victory, notching 11 points on three made triples against Wake Forest.”according tohttps://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2020/01/duke-basketball-joey-baker-clemson-ankle-injury
