Duke's Kyle Filipowski: Injury During Wake Forest Court Storming Felt 'Intentional'

Duke sophomore center Kyle Filipowski believes that Wake Forest fans "absolutely" tried to injure him intentionally following the team's 83-79 upset loss on Saturday.

"I absolutely feel like it was personal, intentional for sure," Filipowski told reporters after the game. "There's no reason where they see a big guy like me trying to work my way off the court and they can't just work around me, there's no excuse for that."

As supporters stormed the court following the game, the center collided with several fans and suffered an injury that was later confirmed to be a sprained ankle by head coach Jon Scheyer.
