Duke basketball team expected to get major boost on Saturday evening

Depth has been a major positive factor for the Duke Blue Devils this season, but that depth took a significant hit on Tuesday night in the loss to the Clemson Tigers.

Duke was already without Wendell Moore who is still recovering from a broken hand suffered on January 4 in the win over Miami, but the afternoon of the game it was announced that Joey Baker would not play against the Tigers.

Baker, a sophomore guard, has been remarkable this season in terms of how efficient he has been in shooting the basketball and the energy and presence he has once Mike Krzyzewski puts him on the floor.
