Coach K announced after the loss to North Carolina Saturday night that Zion would be playing in the ACC tournament. He would practice this week with contact to get him ready. We shall see or if my comment above plays out.

If I were in his shoes I'd send them off to get restiched, then decide whether I want to risk the rest of my career or not.

 

Seriously though, it would be a tough choice for most. As things stand if he never plays another college game he will still go number one. Come back too early you take the chance on reinjuring yourself and missing out on what could be a LeBron like pro career.

 

Personally I think the kid loves the game of basketball and unless K doesn't allow him to, I feel like he will be back for the tournament.

I have heard talk that he his fine but may very well shut it down for the year but Coach K keeps dangling that he his coming back to lock up a #1 seed. If true that is very smart on his part.

 

I have heard that too but if he doesn't play in the ACC tournament and Duke loses, I don't think people will buy he is playing in the Big Dance.

I didn’t think he’d come back, but here he is. And, uh, he looks ready. 9/9 from the field and 21 points at the half. 9 rebounds. WHOA.

The vast majority of the people I hear saying that he shouldn’t play - not necessarily here, but out and about - are Kentucky and Carolina fans.

Looked as crisp as ever.

He is such a freak...my goodness.

 

Duke just won the title last night, it doesn't matter what happens in the ACC. Everyone will be so starstruck playing him that he will punish teams in the NCAA tourney.

Pretty solid stat line in his return. Just a casual 29 & 14 with 5 steals. Oh yeah he was 13-13 from the field.

I just don't see Duke losing with Zion playing. They're at a different level from everyone else.

He is such a freak...my goodness.

We got to see Lebron play in college after all.

You all are trying your darndest to jinx Zion and the Dukies. It's hilarious to watch. :lol2: :lol2:

No jinx intended here.

 

I think Syracuse will be their toughest test in the ACC Tournament.

Saw a pretty funny tweet about Zion Williamson strolling around the Duke locker room after the game:
