Following a recent incident where a star player from Duke's basketball team was injured during a court storming celebration, concerns have been raised about the safety of such post-game traditions. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has taken action by implementing disciplinary measures against court storming, with LSU being fined $100,000 as a consequence.
On the other hand, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), to which Duke belongs, currently does not have specific regulations in place regarding court storming. However, in light of recent events, the ACC commissioner has expressed intentions to address the issue. The incident in question occurred at the end of Duke's loss to in-state rivals Wake Forest, where fans flooded the court, resulting in Duke's star sophomore player, Kyle Filipowski, being caught in the chaos.
