Duke opens basketball practice in one week and things are coming together nicely for the young but talented Blue Devils.

Associate head coach Jeff Capel said Friday that, though head coach Mike Krzyzewski didn’t attend the Triangle Men’s Basketball Tip-off luncheon at the Embassy Suites Hotel, the 70-year-old coach is recovering well from knee replacement surgery.

“Coach is great,” Capel said. “He’s actually doing really well. He’s back at the office. He’s doing things. He’s on the court during our workouts. He should be ready to go full speed when we start up next week.”

That’s it for the update on the senior member of Duke’s program.
