Duke pulls out of ACC tournament after positive Covid test

Duke’s run in the 2021 ACC tournament has come to an end ... after winning back-to-back games.

The morning after the Blue Devils’ second round win over Louisville, a player tested positive for Covid-19, forcing the team to pull out of the tournament. Duke had been scheduled to face second-seeded Florida State in the quarterfinals Thursday night.

The good(?) news for Louisville is that the player who tested positive for Duke has been widely reported to be a walk-on who did not play in last night’s game. If the Cardinals get left out of the NCAA tournament, it shouldn’t be (fingers crossed) for Covid reasons.
