Better now than a month from now.

Crank up the vigil.

Hope for a full and quick recovery. Chase, Vrank and Sean, time to step up.

[TKG]

Next man up. Is that Chase?

Damn Nike shoes/floors.

Start the vigil!

I'm thinking all sorts of bad words right now. Hurry back (100% healthy, though,) Amile!

Paging Mr. Jeter. We have an OJT opportunity for you.

Not good. I actually think he is our most valuable player this year. Hopefully it's just a minor sprain.

Time for Chase (Obi?!) to step up.

First things first, I feel terrible for Amile. He is killing it this year and is our heart and soul. Man, this stinks.

Assuming he can get back on the court this year, you're right. We have to take the long view and hope this jump starts the development of Jeter. All of the Sean Obi fanboys/girls, is this what you wanted?!?!?(kidding!)

The Duke foot curse claims another.

[Bob Green]

Get well soon, Amile Jefferson! I really, really dislike the Injury Bug. Amile Jefferson has worked so hard at Duke and senior year should be his time to shine so this is just a punch in the gut to him. Seems unfair but we all know life is unfair. I don't want to overreact before details are made available; however, reading this news makes me sad.

[weezie]

Awww gawwwd terrible news! Heal Amile heal!

Man reading that made me quiver. I sure hope more details come out soon.

Amile Jefferson's foot injury will likely be one of those wait-and-see, no timetable types. So just like Ryan Kelly's and Kyrie's

Laura Keeley ‏@laurakeeley 47s48 seconds ago
Not that that will stop people from asking when Jefferson will be back multiple times a day

“This injury is unfortunate, to say the least, but Amile is strong in both person and character,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He will continue to be an integral part of this team, and we will support him fully as he rehabs this foot injury.”

Paging Mr. Jeter. We have an OJT opportunity for you.

Did you know you can receive technical fouls and/or infractions for thinking bad words, just like Jimmy V did?

[duke blue brewcrew]

I feel badly for Amile, no one wants to be hurt their Sr. year. He's such a big contributor and will be sorely missed until his return. Heal quickly Amile!

[devildeac]

Awww gawwwd terrible news! Heal Amile heal!

Amile? Heal? Never!!!

Recover/recuperate/mend/rehabilitate/return perhaps but never heal .

[dukelifer]

Time for Chase (Obi?!) to step up.

Both likely

[dukelifer]

Meeks out for UNC

[kAzE]

Damn . . . get well soon, Amile. This young team just got a lot younger.

Looks like Brandon is gonna be playing a lot more at the 4, and Marshall/Chase are gonna play as many minutes as they can handle. Wouldn't be surprised to see Obi and/or Vrank get a few minutes in the next couple of games to get some seasoning as well.

[Billy Dat]

Both likely

JG @jgoges
@laurakeeley any chance more minutes will come Obi's way?

@laurakeeley 3m3 minutes ago
Nope

[fuse]

In the I'm much less clever than I think department:

New Crazie Cheer:

Heal, Amile (pointing to Amile)

Which can evolve against the cheaters to:

Heel (point to a cheater) follower by Amile (point to Amile)

I may only amuse myself, but somedays that is all that matters.

Wishing all the best to Amile.
His play to date has been spectacular.
