The Duke Blue Devils looked pedestrian without Zion Williamson during Tuesday's 71-70 victory over the 11-18 Wake Forest Demon Deacons and will likely have to battle the archrival North Carolina Tar Heels without him Saturday.
"I don't think he'll be ready for Saturday," Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said, per C.L. Brown of The Athletic. "I have to be careful not to push this. I'd be surprised if he's not ready by the ACC tournament."
Williamson suffered a knee injury in the opening minute of a Feb. 20 loss to the Tar Heels when his foot went through the bottom of his shoe.
