The Blue Devils are back at full strength. After suffering a concussion in the team’s win against Wake Forest Feb. 12 and missing Duke’s last game against Florida State, sophomore point guard Tyrese Proctor is active for Wednesday night’s game against Miami, a team representative confirmed.
Proctor, who also missed time after suffering an ankle sprain Dec. 2 against Georgia Tech, has seen up-and-down production this season amidst his injury struggles. However, the Sydney native has had a number of impressive performances, including a 24-point showing against Louisville and an 18-point outing against Clemson. He is currently fifth on the team in scoring at 10 points per game and leads the team in assists per game at 3.5.
Coming into their road bout with the Hurricanes, the eighth-ranked Blue Devils are looking to extend a four-game win streak. In Proctor’s absence against the Seminoles, freshman guard Jared McCain helped carry the offensive load, tying a Duke freshman single-game scoring record with 35 points.
Miami, on the other hand, is coming off a road loss against Boston College, and will be without an important backcourt piece of its own in Nijel Pack, per CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein on X. The Blue Devils look to avenge last season’s 81-59 loss at the Watsco Center once the game tips off at 7 p.m.
