Duke star point guard Caleb Foster is out for the foreseeable future after undergoing surgery for a fractured foot, Blue Devils coach Jon Scheyer told the media on Tuesday morning. Starting center Patrick Ngongba II will also continue to be sidelined for the ACC tournament as he deals with foot soreness. Scheyer noted that the priority will be to have Ngongba ready for the NCAA tournament.
Foster left Saturday’s 15-point Blue Devils win over visiting No. 17 North Carolina with a right foot injury and was seen on the sideline in a boot. He scored five points and added two assists and a rebound prior to exiting the game for the nation’s top-ranked team.
