Bolden undergoes nasal surgery

[Louisville Crazie]

Per Duke Sports Information:

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke has announced that sophomore center Marques Bolden underwent successful surgery today to repair a fractured nasal bone. He is not expected to miss any time.

The surgery was performed by Dr. David Powers. The injury occurred during the win at Clemson on February 18, and Bolden played 16 minutes with eight points and five rebounds in Wednesday’s win over Louisville.

Well I’m glad he’s not gonna miss any time, kid can’t catch a break. What was with the brace on the leg? Just precautionary?

Love the way that kid is playing like a bulldog!!! Something I have noticed is his touch around the hoop these last 4 games. He must be shooting the ball pretty well, and is showing some glimpses of the player we heard so much about upon his recruitment to the True Blue and White!

Glad to hear the surgery went well and he won't miss any time! He's been giving us some really good minutes this season.

He is really starting to show what he can do! That's good news for Duke this year and hopefully next year too!!!

But we dont develop big men.

I really hope he keeps getting minutes WHEN Bags returns. We will need him to be a leader/captain next year.

Next year he's going to be a beast when the freshmen come in. He'll have one on one coverage a lot. His post moves are getting better and better. That left hook smooth

Marques can be a really good player the next two years if he wants to be.

Hell, he’s able to make a gigantic impact THIS year, too,

My wife is friends with the anesthesiologists girlfriend and he says Bolden admitted during the administration of Versed, that he's transferring to Wabasha State next year, and he's already given a silent verbal.

Marques is tough as nails! I've had 2 nasal surgeries, and they both (especially one of them) damn near killed me...took awhile to get over them. Of course I was pushing 60...as compared to a young stud! Still I'm surprised he's not missing the next game.

Bolden

I can foresee Duke being a national title type team with these three as the experienced foundation in a couple of years. Javin and Bolden as seniors and AOC as a junior. I wish Tucker would have stayed.

I hope he is having his Zobek moment. When the light came on for Brian it altered Duke's destiny in 2010.

Vrank would be closer to having a Zoubek moment. Bolden is a totally different player, whether light is on or off.
