WASHINGTON (AP) — Duke point guard Caleb Foster returned to the court for the Blue Devils in Friday night’s Sweet 16 matchup against St. John’s, less than three weeks after breaking his foot.
Foster did not start against the Red Storm, but he came in as a substitute with 14:36 remaining in the first half and received a big cheer when he was announced. On his first trip down the court, he threw an alley-oop to Patrick Ngongba II.
Foster broke his foot on March 7 in Duke’s regular-season finale against North Carolina and had surgery that weekend. He missed the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament, which the Blue Devils won, and then the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
