Ngongba's Return: Boost for Duke Blue Devils

0:00A March 20, Duke coach John Shayer share some positive news about center-patric In-Gongba. He's hopeful the big man can suit up for Saturday's game. The plan is to get Nongba through a full practice Friday afternoon. If he handles that session well, medical staff expect him to play the next day. There's still plenty of evaluation ahead, with trainers monitoring every step. Fans and analysts see this as a big boost for the blue doubles. Even if In-Gongba isn't at full strength, his defense and rebounding would fill key gaps. Plus, he'd add those crucial extra fouls on the court. Duke's margin for error has been slim all season. With tougher opponents ahead, any help in the paint makes a real difference. Shayer's optimism points to a potential turning point as the team pushes forward.
