Impact Dual, who has spent the last two months recovering from a dislocated collarbone, has returned to the basketball court for non-contact drills. The 6-foot-5 guard is expected to play a big role for Syracuse this season as long as he stays healthy. He averaged 8.6 points and 4.4 assists in just 26.5 minutes per game for McNeese State in 2025-26.

Recovering from injury Dual is recovering from a dislocated collarbone, per Syraucse.com.

Impact The former Providence, Seton Hall and McNeese guard is dealing with a dislocated collarbone ahead of the 2026-27 season. Still several months out from tip-off, Dual still has plenty of time to recover. At the moment, however, the transfer guard's arm is in a sling and his status is murky.

Committing to Syracuse Dual has committed to Syracuse for the 2026-27 season, according to Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.

Impact Dual showed his defensive potential at McNeese and guided the team to the NCAA Tournament in 2025-26, so he was more than ready for a bigger challenge. He should add depth and defensive prowess for Syracuse, but his role remains uncertain since he'll have to adjust to a bigger level of competition in the ACC.

Plays 17 minutes in exhibition Dual (shoulder) logged 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's exhibition against Grambling. He finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), a rebound, two assists and two steals.

Impact Dual saw action in this exhibition game, but he wasn't sharp with his shot. Either way, expect the junior guard to be ready when McNeese State play their season opener against Santa Clara on Friday, Nov. 7.

Joining the Cowboys Dual (shoulder) has announced his commitment to McNeese State, Adam Zagoria of NJ.com reports.

Impact Dual will join McNeese State after having recently underwent shoulder surgery. The 6-foot-5 sophomore, who spent the first two years of his collegiate career in the Big East (Providence and Seton Hall), appeared in 30 games last season with the Pirates (22 starts), averaging 5.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, three assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks on 25.5 minutes per game. Dual will look to bring his two-way guard play to McNeese next season, following his recovery process.

Enters portal following surgery Dual (shoulder) has announced his entry into the portal after recently undergoing a procedure on his shoulder, Adam Zagoria of NJ.com reports.

Impact Dual is expected to be sidelined for the next six months as he explores opportunities available in the transfer portal. The 6-foot-5 sophomore appeared in 30 games this past season with Seton Hall (22 starts), averaging 5.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, three assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks on 25.5 minutes per game.

12 points in blowout loss Dual provided 12 points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 81-50 loss to UConn.

Impact Dual was nearly a perfect scorer in the Pirates' rematch versus the Huskies, but it didn't mean much in the end. The sophomore guard logged a ten-game best in points, and he also produced his third straight outing with a block. He'll have to be on his A-game this Wednesday now as the Pirates travel to Villanova.

Two blocks, two steals in loss Dual amassed six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 76-59 loss to Marquette.

Impact The Pirates got blown out by Marquette in the home matchup, but the sophomore guard's fill-in starting job provided some relief on defense with guard's Dylan Addae-Wusu (foot) and Chaunce Jenkins (hamstring) both out. Dual may need to step up on the offensive side of the ball as well if he continues to find himself in the starting lineup. He's now started in nine games so far this season.

JANUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from starting five Dual is not starting Tuesday's game against Xavier, Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reports.
