DURHAM, N.C. -- Mike Krzyzewski summed things up pretty succinctly after Duke's 95-91 overtime loss to Syracuse in which star point guard Tre Jones left with a shoulder injury early in the first half.
"There was no game plan for that," Krzyzewski said. "You just try to survive."
Duke likely will be in survival mode for the foreseeable future. The good news is that X-rays showed Jones' right shoulder isn't broken. The bad news is the sprain could sideline the freshman for "a while," according to Krzyzewski. Duke announced after the game that Jones suffered an acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation and is out indefinitely.
