Duke freshman star Dariq Whitehead will dress and be available for Friday night's men's basketball game against Delaware, the school announced Friday.

Whitehead hasn't played yet this season after undergoing surgery on his right foot in late August.

A versatile 6-foot-7 wing, Whitehead was the No. 2 recruit in the ESPN 100 last spring and is a projected lottery pick in ESPN's latest NBA draft rankings. He was named the Naismith High School Player of the Year and earned MVP honors at the McDonald's All American Game. Whitehead also helped lead Montverde Academy (Florida) to consecutive national championships as a junior and senior.
