No Bagley tonight

[QC Dukie]

Just saw this. It said story to come soon.......wth?

From twitter @DukeMBB:

NEWS: As a precautionary measure, Marvin Bagley III will not play tonight at Georgia Tech with a mild knee sprain. The injury was sustained in the first half on Thursday at North Carolina.

 

[QC Dukie]

Ugggggggghhhh

 

[dachampishere2]

Carter about to shine now. I say 20-20 game for Carter.

 

[Jake1985]

What do you think... Bolden to start? Jack to start? Javin to start? Go small and Alex to start?

 

[Tross282003]

Not good. More Bolden which is good to help. It maybe good to give Bagley a rest

 

[ioliva]

bolden deserves to start he was awesome against carolina. This may be the game where he shows consistency and builds more confidence. I'm really looking forward to it.

 

[tclark6]

Glad it's just a mild sprain....heart just dropped when I saw this scroll across espn. Let's go Bolden and Grayson!

 

[Mac9192]

I'm kind of anxious to see how we do minus a star that needs his shots. The only game we have had minus a star worked out pretty well.

 

[dachampishere2]

So for all of the people that said Grayson has been struggling because he’s not a top option on offense and how great he did against MSU without Bagley, tonight is the night to see what he can do. This would’ve been the team had Bagley not reclassified

 

[Jake1985]

Also want to see the line up and rotation

 

[dukecorey]

We will see what this team is made of. Must win without your best player. Let’s go boys.

 

[LONMUNU]

Well tonight should be interesting. Allen has to find his scoring tonight and get more involved. Hope Bagley gets well soon.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

It’ll be interesting to see if Grayson plays like his old-self without Bagley

 

[jwill133]

I hope Allen has a big game tonight, but everyone realizes that inserting Bolden for Bagley (which we should do, and probably will) is just gonna clog the lane up more, right?? If Allen has a big night, it's not really gonna be due to Bagley not playing.

Let's hope Allen, Duval, and Trent all have big nights.

Trent has been consistent so I almost expect him to score about 15 a game at this point because that’s what he has been doing

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Duke SHOULD still be able to win this game without Bagley!

 

[MyDudeG]

Expecting a big game from Wendell. Hopefully Javin could give us some good pt today.

 

[herecomesduke]

Is this mild sprain something to worry about him not be 100 percent going forward?

 

[hart2chesson]

No doubt!

 

[dachampishere2]

Bolden had a "mild" sprain as well. He sat out for a month. I think Coach K did this to see if Grayson can get some confidence. I kid I kid

 

[QC Dukie]

Well, at least there won’t be any “standing around watching Bagley” tonight. Hope someone steps up.

I'm going to the Clemson game next Sunday I'll be ticked if he's a no go

See ya there! I'm making the 6 hour drive down on Saturday for Sunday's game.

Not gonna be happy if Marvin is a no-go.

I know the feeling. The first Duke game I went to was at WF in 2011 when Kyrie was out. We won so it was still awesome

You had a better time than me. My first Duke game was 2002 Sweet 16 at Rupp Arena against Indiana...............

Feel like my luck has evened out though since I was there at both the 2010 and 2015 Natty titles.

 

[Showenuff]

Bolden Shine Time.

[JohnstonCDevil]

The way Bolden played agianst UNCHEAT, I'm really expecting a good game from him against Tech. With Bolden and Carter inside we should be fine!!!
OFC

Sweet!

 

[Jake1985]

Bolden is working his way back into shape. He's one big dude. Could still get more muscular and stronger

 

[gottagonow]

Does this mean Bags is transferring tomorrow for lack of playing time.

 

[K-oach Q]

I actually don’t think this is a big deal...if minor....of course I admittedly think Carter is a much better player...I think he will Totally shine out tonight!

 

[Dad2ze]

Breaking News: Accoridng to sources close to Duke Basketball. The rumor about Bagley’s knee sprain is false. Bagley will transfer this week and play basketball for UC-Irvine. More info to come later.

 

[2004Audi]

perhaps this is the lineup change some have been looking for

 

[skysdad]

Just hope we don't wear black uni's. OFC

 

[gottagonow]

With Bags not playing there might be more room for Duval to dish off, maybe less or who knows.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Even if Duke wins this game by 50, I won't be convinced we're better without Bags. Hurry back Big Guy!

OFC

K is all up in their ass, he’s pissed.
