Ryan’s interview after the game. I’ll be back…
Kyle gets BUCKETS!

It's not really odd at all. Game-time decisions about player injuries are made all the time in pretty much every sport. And this injury happened less than 24 hours ago. He might have seemed fine and then aggravated the injury right before the game leading to the late decision on his availability.
There are a lot of plausible, routine explanations for why MM didn't play. Yours isn't among them.
Great to hear this (again) from the horse’s mouth and put this to bed. I know Ryan fell off a bit down the stretch, but having a sixth year center who started a lot for us this year is going to be a major luxury next year. I maintain that him and Reeves are a pretty solid center platoon if Kyle leaves, one that could get better if Sean Stewart lives up to his lofty ranking and can play some small ball 5.
Again, another place where we’ll have continuity, which Coach Scheyer has explicitly said he wants. We won’t be starting over from scratch next year, even if we’re building from multiple role/developing players. It’ll certainly be more returning than JUST Roach/Blakes.
Perhaps, but playing in the G League with a first round guaranteed contract is a lot different than doing so on a two way deal. Duke has to show this off-season that, between the culture and NIL, that it’s better to be a sophomore at Duke than a G-Leaguer. I think we can do it and keep at least one guy with NBA aspirations.
Proctor has said in past interviews that he doesn’t mind staying for a second year: https://youtu.be/hL-HftbzRS8
