Duke's Ngongba Injury: Scheyer's Update

0:00On March 18, Duke faces Siena in their first tournament matchup tomorrow as the top overall seat against the number 16 team. Head coach John Shire shared the latest on starting center, Patrick Engongba, who's battling a foot injury. Shire made it clear it's very unlikely Engongba suits up for the opener. Engongba has missed action since Duke's victory at NC State on February 2, which was four games back. He's shown steady progress in recent days leading up to the game. The Blue Devils already lacked depth with starting guard Caleb Foster's side line 2. That said, it didn't slow them down in the ACC tournament where they grabbed their second straight title. Shire stressed their monitoring in Engongba day by day with no firm return date in sight. Everything points positive, but they need him fully comfortable first. Duke will push forward Saturday regardless, aiming to build momentum early without their big man just yet. Made in AI.
