Tre......
- Thread starter QC Dukie
- Start date
I agree. St John’s is a top 25 team when Ponds is healthy. They will up for that game for sure. If we are at full strength and equally motivated it is a blow out, but that’s the case against a lot of teams. St John’s is no slouch and Ponds can go off. Would love to see Tre lock him up.
Yes I believe you are the only one.
My feeling is that if he's going to play it's because he's cleared and not at any increased risk of re-injury. I don't see K rushing him back, and especially not against Georgia Tech at home.
Lol i guess so. I mean i want him to play just not too soon where it’s more likely to re-injure it.
Right! If he’s ready they wouldn’t have cleared him to play. If he was cleared, what sense does it make to sit out two more days?
I mean, I get what you’re saying, but I’m pretty sure the staff wouldn’t clear him if he wasn’t ready to go.
Yeah you’re right. K seems to have a tendency of holding players out for longer than needed so if he’s saying Tre is good he must be good
Duke isn't rushing him back. If he's ready to play, then play him. This isn't the first time Duke has dealt with an injury. They know what they're doing.
Meh.... I would keep him rested another game or two because I am paranoid about re-injury. But GOAT knows better than I do.
He could have gone vs UVA and Pitt but they held him out. He’s practiced all this week he’s good to go.
Keep in mind, "K" said probable. Also, there is always a chance of him getting his shoulder injured again, that's just the nature of the beast.
We just have to trust the trainer and Coach K, and we all know how "K" feels about his prized PG! He would not take a chance playing him if he didn't believe he was ok.
I know I am excited to see him back, especially this soon.
Go Duke!
OFC
If anything.... and this is a big if.. Tre will be on a minute restriction.. but no way I would see bringing Tre back if he wasn’t 100%..... this is huge to have him back especially with the quick turnaround from Saturday to at ND Monday.
^^To me probable means hes 110% playing....plus Tre's IG post pretty much confirms it
"Tre is probable for this game," Krzyzewski told Duke broadcaster David Shumate. "He has really progressed well, and hopefully he will be ready to go on Saturday." FWIW. Probably same thing everyone else has seen thus far.
When the injury first happened, a lot of us were left wondering if that would be the last time we see him in a Duke uniform. The fact that he's ready to go so soon after the injury is a blessing from the basketball gods. Hopefully this is the last time we have to talk about injuries this season and we get to see this team live up to their potential.
Tre is and has been all year my favorite Dukie on this team. So glad he’s back so soon. Let’s pray for an injury free rest of season.
You don't want to go back to that dark place again Dukefan,we were a little worried!
