The Blue Devils may be one man closer to full strength when they take the court against Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon.
Sophomore forward Javin DeLaurier posted a photo of himself during a game on Instagram Friday evening with the caption, "Good to be back." DeLaurier has missed Duke's last three games and four of its last six contests with hamstring injuries. The team could not officially confirm that DeLaurier will be back on the floor against the Panthers.
DeLaurier is averaging 4.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in 14 appearances this year and has generally served as the Blue Devils' first or second man off the bench.
Duke's other top frontcourt reserve, Marques Bolden, has missed four straight games with a knee injury, and the program did not have an update on his recovery timetable as of Friday evening.
