Coach K: Tre Jones to return soonish

[Tripping William]

TDD reporting that Tre Jones "participated" in practice yesterday, out of his sling and doing some individual work on the court. Progress.

Could this be an abbreviated Ryan Kelly redux?

I doubt that Tre scores as many points as Kelly did in his first game back from injury, but I'll take the same Tre that we had before his injury. I love his defense and his cool manner on the court. GoDuke!

That Miami game was fantastic, I remember it well. Kelly likely cemented his draft status there and then. That game has significance for me personally, won't go into it here. But I wonder where Kelly is now. He was in the Spanish League. But when I search it up, I don't see him there anymore.

Anyway, would love to see Jones pull a Willis Reed on Saturday. He comes out of the tunnel late, starts, assists Barrett off the tap, then gets a steal and a bucket on following possession... then sits as Duke's momentum in Cameron sweeps UVA away.

Was watching at tyler's...great time...remember the "i still got it"

unfortunately he never played to that level for the rest of his tenure. I don't know if we would have beaten UL with how poorly we handled the press and ball screen, but it certainly would have helped.

Strangest thing I've seen...Kelly's best game ever at Duke was that game, and it's like he slowly went downhill after that game by game. Most counter intuitive thing...makes no logical sense at all. But we all saw it.

What’s totally insane is that Tre had 4 steals and 2 assists in under 6 minutes against Syracuse. I would love to see him take the floor against UVA.

And the Duke team not named Tre only had 4 steals in a full 40 minutes of action...so that's 4 steals in 6 minutes for Tre, and 4 steals in 219 minutes (quick math pre coffee) for the rest of the guys.

Took your math courses at unc with the basketball players?

5 players X 40 = 200
5 players X 5 = 25 (overtime)
Tre's minutes (6)
219

What am I missing?

With the UVA win do we give Tre more time to heal by sitting him against Pitt and Ga Tech?

I expect he will play when he is ready and not before.

I posed the question as there was so much speculation that we might see him tonight that I interpreted as him being close. I agree with your comment but was suggesting we might have an option to rest him just a bit more given our next two opponents.

[proelitedota]

DUKE IS BETTER WITHOUT TRE.

JK. Hope he recovers and helps us avoid a hungover game against Pitt.

He wasn't moving that right arm too much tonight ...

he was fine giving people high fives...

it is highly likely that Duke is eliminated from yet another regular season ACC title after this weekend.
