The Duke Blue Devils continue to roll. They’re the third-best team in all of college basketball, according to the latest AP Poll, and they’re marching firm on their way to the NCAA Tourney.
Needless to say, people are quick to credit Cooper Flagg for their success, and rightfully so, as the projected first-overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has been spectacular.
Nevertheless, basketball is still a team sport, and the Blue Devils are far from a one-man show. That’s why it’s so unfortunate to hear that Maliq Brown might be in for a long absence.

“He was playing such a great game too,” Scheyer said. “We got to get the rest of his image, X-rays, MRIs today and we’ll know more moving forward. It’s something where you’re not gonna know. It takes some to see how it heals and recovers. So I probably won’t even know anything this week.”
