Duke head coach Jon Scheyer discusses Caleb Foster's recent injury
Duke head coach Jon Scheyer revealed that Caleb Foster is currently sidelined with an ankle injury.
During a news conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer announced additional injury updates. In addition to Drew Scharnowski's ongoing knee issue, senior guard Caleb Foster was added to the injured list due to an ankle injury. Foster had recently played in Duke's "Countdown to Craziness" event less than a week prior to the announcement.
However, Scheyer assured that Foster should be back in time for the team's season opener against Army. Since the injury, Foster has been wearing a boot. Foster previously recovered quickly from a fractured foot during Duke's March Madness appearance last season. As a junior, he averaged 8.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 0.3 steals per game.
If Foster's absence becomes necessary, Cayden Boozer and freshman Deron Rippey Jr. would likely fill in at point guard.
