"Caleb Foster has missed the past five games after suffering a fracture in his foot against North Carolina earlier this month. Coach Jon Scheyer said they needed to see how he felt and progressed leading into Friday."
"Foster was enjoying a breakout season prior to his injury, starting 30 of the team's first 31 games and averaging 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists, shooting 40.2% from 3-point range."
"Without Foster, Scheyer has turned to five-star freshman Cayden Boozer as a starter in the backcourt. Boozer has averaged 13.8 points and 3.2 assists over that span."
"Sophomore center Pat Ngongba is also expected to play in Friday night's game against No. 5 seed St. John's. Ngongba is averaging 10.5 points and 6.0 rebounds this season."
Caleb Foster, Duke's starting point guard, is a game-time decision for the Sweet 16 matchup against St. John's after missing five games due to a foot fracture. Coach Jon Scheyer noted Foster's limited practice and emphasized his determination to play. Foster had a strong season before his injury, contributing significantly to key victories. In his absence, freshman Cayden Boozer has taken over as a starter, performing well in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, sophomore center Pat Ngongba is expected to play after recovering from his own injury.
