Duke basketball unsure when Patrick Ngongba will return from wrist injury

It’s getting to be the most important time of the season and after navigating most of the year without a significant injury the Duke basketball team is hoping for the best with center Patrick Ngongba.

Ngongba missed Tuesday’s victory over Pittsburgh with a wrist injury that he suffered against North Carolina.

After the 70-54-win, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer revealed that his starting center wasn’t close to suiting up for the Blue Devils.

“We were holding on hope on whether he could play today. I think that was incredibly unrealistic,” he explained.
