Impact Hurt has reached the 20-point mark in two straight games but has been a reliable scoring threat for the Blue Devils, topping the 15-point plateau in all but one game while also recording three double-doubles in eight appearances.

Very limited in return Johnson (foot) had two points and an assist across four minutes off the bench in Tuesday's loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact While Johnson was spotted warming up and ultimately entered the game, he was passed up for the starting nod in favor of Jaemyn Brakefield and ultimately didn't see much action. Duke has a bit of a break ahead before heading to Pittsburgh on Jan. 19, so it seems likely Johnson could be deployed in a greater capacity after a full week of ramping up practice.
