I disagree, Hurley broke a bone in his foot:

Hmmm... I wrote the headline (but not the article) in the Chronicle a couple days after the game. For some reason I remember it being "Hurley to miss three weeks with knee injury."
I have the proof from page one of that issue, but it's in storage. As it turns out I have to retrieve something there today or tomorrow; maybe I can dig it up.
Hurley missed four or five full games as I recall. He came back off the bench in a home game against Virginia. That I remember, as I was at that game too.
Not Bob, but yes, I think you're correct.
I recall comments that Hurley went at the stationary bike and a stair climber really hard, and informed Coach K after 3 (?) weeks that he was ready to return, well ahead of a normal recovery time.
Hurley was an incredible competitor and clutch player.
i think it was grant hill who missed a few games that season due to a knee injury.
I believe it was a high ankle sprain.

This is the whole reason you never say "special team" & "pefect season" until after the season. You tempted the woof GODS & now I am going to have to ground you all!
Heal fast Kyrie!
Unfortunately the Chronicle's online archive only goes back to 1994.
The NY Times goes back much farther though!

http://www.nytimes.com/1992/02/26/sp...irginia&st=nytthe Blue Devils playmaker, BOBBY HURLEY, also broke a toe in his right foot.
Hurley could be sidelined for three weeks.
And you're correct that Bobby played against Virginia, coming off the bench:GRANT HILL, a sophomore, hurt his left ankle in practice yesterday and could be sidelined for the Blue Devils' home game tonight against the University of Virginia

He and Bilas "went at it" on a stairmaster for about 3 weeks, each leaving the other a note every time they bested the other's record. IIRC, Bilas eventually won with something like 850+ flights and Hurley knew he was whipped, but Bilas referred to Hurley as a "machine."
Hurley had his 3 week "check-up" with the orthopod and then showed up in K's office with a huge S%i!-eating grin on his face and K knew he was ready to play. The doc had told him he could break the bone again but that playing might actually facilitate the healing with increased movement and blood flow. K wouldn't start him (IIRC, Blakeney moved into the starting line-up and Grant moved to the point. K was "heart-broken" that his PG had "grown" 6-8 inches) but worked him back into the line-up fairly quickly. This is my recall from reading one of K's books about 15 years ago.

Well kyrie is out for tommorows game
Official word coming from Duke tmw re: the status of Kyrie's toe.
would you like "our" guys to look at that toe? i am sure we would have him healthy before next years draft.
Without having any inside info, I'm doubting that Kyrie isn't at least going to suit up for K's opportunity to pass Rupp. I'm betting Kyrie really wants to be a part of that history.
"Just be you. You is Enough."
Well, the poster said non-season-ending injuries, so he's not suggesting the toe would be season ending. However, if it's nagging, it could cut down on Kyrie's explosiveness if he's in pain every time he tries to cut, plant, shift directions, etc. while using his big toe for leverage (and cue greybeard post about feet and toes in 3...2...1...)
Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.
You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
