Zion Williamson day-to-day with knee sprain; Coach K 'optimistic'

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is optimistic about Zion Williamson's health after his star player suffered a grade 1 sprain to his right knee in Wednesday night's loss to North Carolina.

The Blue Devils said Williamson is "day-to-day" after leaving the top-10 showdown in the first minute, and Krzyzewski wasn't able to estimate when he will be healthy enough to play again.

"I think that everyone wants to know his status, and it's still -- we don't have a timetable, but the preliminary reports that we have on Zion's injury are all optimistic -- very, very good," Krzyzewski said on his weekly show on ESPNU Radio on SiriusXM.
