We made it exactly one possession into the most anticipated game of the week before things went haywire.

Duke announced that he will not return for the game. After the game, Mike Krzyzewski told reporters that the injury is a mild sprain.
“We’re very concerned about Zion,” he said. “It’s a mild knee sprain. We will know about length of time tomorrow. It’s stable.
