Duke coach Jon Scheyer is advocating for the Atlantic Coast Conference to take action to prevent court-storming incidents after star player Kyle Filipowski was injured during a recent game against Wake Forest. Filipowski collided with a fan, resulting in him experiencing soreness and needing ice on his knee. Scheyer emphasized the need for immediate measures to be implemented to ensure the safety of players and staff.
