Patrick Ngongba II - May be available for NCAA tourney Ngongba (foot) may be available for the NCAA tournament, according to the Duke team's X account.
Impact Even though Ngongba is out for the ACC tournament, his season is far from finished. Duke unsurprisingly qualified for the NCAA tournament yet again, and he may be available as long as his injured foot fully recovers without any setbacks. Ngongba finished the regular season with 10.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

Caleb Foster - Out for foreseeable future Foster (foot) is out for the foreseeable future, according to the Duke team's X account.
Impact The last game of Duke's regular season saw Foster suffer a foot injury, which after imaging, turns out to be a fracture that will not only cost him the ACC tournament but also may cost him the NCAA tourney as well. After undergoing surgery Sunday morning, he is out for the foreseeable future, with his availability for the remainder of the season in jeopardy. According to Jeff Goodman of The Field of 68, there is an outside shot that Foster could be available if Duke's team makes the Final Four, but that would mean everything would have to go right for the Blue Devils for him to play again this season. In 31 games (30 starts) this season, Foster averaged 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 three-pointers made while shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from deep.

Maliq Brown - Steps up big in start vs. UNC Brown produced 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 76-61 win over North Carolina.
Impact Brown got the start against the Tar Hells with teammate Patrick Ngongba (foot) out, and he stepped up big time. The 6-foot-9 senior's 15 points were a season high, and he tied his campaign-best of five steals. Brown is also slated to start in even more games, as Ngongba is set to be sidelined for the entirety of the ACC Tournament.

Patrick Ngongba II - Not expected to play in ACC Tourney Ngongba (foot) is not expected to be available for the ACC Tournament, Jon Scheyer told Anna Snyder of The Fayetteville Observer after Saturday's win over UNC.
Impact Ngongba was unavailable for the regular-season finale against UNC, and it seems the Blue Devils will take a conservative approach in his recovery with an eye toward having him as healthy as possible for the NCAA Tournament. Ngongba averaged 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in the regular season. With him out, look for Maliq Brown to see more miuntes at center.

Caleb Foster - Unlikely for ACC Tournament Foster (foot) is not expected to be available for the ACC Tournament, Jon Scheyer told Anna Snyder of The Fayetteville Observer after Saturday's win over UNC.
Impact Foster suffered an injury against UNC, and while he'll undergo imaging to determine the severity of the problem, it wouldn't be surprising if he's not available for the ACC Tournament. All signs point to Duke wanting him as healthy as possible for the NCAA Tournament. This means Cayden Boozer should be in line to see more playing time in the backcourt during the ACC Tournament.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Foster - Will undergo imaging Foster (undisclosed) will undergo imaging after suffering an injury against UNC on Saturday, head coach Jon Scheyer told Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com.
Impact Foster was limited to 11 minutes in Saturday's win, tallying five points, two assists and a rebound. He'll undergo imaging in order to have him available as early as possible, including the ACC Tournament that starts next week.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Ngongba II - Doesn't play vs. UNC Ngongba (foot) didn't play in Saturday's win over UNC.
Impact Ngongba "did everything humanly possible to play Saturday," according to head coach Jon Scheyer, but the big man was ruled out in the end. His next chance to suit up will come in the ACC Tournament, where Duke will only participate in the latter stages.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Ngongba II - Not warming up Saturday Ngongba (foot) isn't warming up ahead of Saturday's matchup versus North Carolina, per Pat Welter of WRAL.com.
Impact Ngongba is trending towards sitting out Saturday's game, as he's currently has some soreness in his foot. Maliq Brown will likely get the start at center, and Ngongba will aim to return next week during the ACC Tournament.

Impact According to O'Neill, Ngongba still has some soreness in his foot and was spotted wearing a walking boot Friday. If the senior ultimately can't go, Maliq Brown would likely get the start at center.
