DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Duke says forward Amile Jefferson will be out indefinitely with an unspecified right foot injury.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski announced the injury Monday in a brief statement issued by the school.
Krzyzewski called the injury ''unfortunate, to say the least,'' but praised Jefferson as being ''strong in both person and character.''
Jefferson - the leading returning scorer from last year's national championship team - has started all nine games this year while averaging 11 points and 10 rebounds for the seventh-ranked Blue Devils (8-1).
