December 9, 201015 yr Hate to see this...Kid can ball. If he's out for the season, does that mean he comes back next season?
December 9, 201015 yr I hate this. As much as I dislike Duke, Irvings a player I anticipated on watching this season. Hopefully he's back before March. Dawkins looked good last night in his starting debut for Irving, so looks like they are going to have enough depth in the backcourt to absorb the blow better than most programs could have been able to.
December 9, 201015 yr I hate seeing any young athlete get hurt, it's a real shame. I enjoyed watching Irving the few times I've seen him play.
December 9, 201015 yr Irving is sick. Really the only player on Duke I can admit that I like. Sucks he'll be out for a while.
December 9, 201015 yr I'm hearing it is likely he will only be out 3-4 weeks... I kind of thought a toe sprain wouldn't keep him out until April. I want to not dislike Duke but Coach K and and his whining make it impossible.
December 10, 201015 yr It's a ligament tear not a sprain... I really hope he comes back fully healthy and has a good year. Hopefully he doesn't rush back though and make it worse.
December 10, 201015 yr This one hurt when I heard the news, but hopefully he's back before March. Duke's offense has changed now. Irving is a heck of a driver and will be missed. Now Duke will be more of a shooting team again, which I have no problem with as everyone on the team can fill it up. One good thing that came from this is now we get to see Dawkins get some PT. The kid is a flat out player.

That is very big with the depth Duke has this year. Curry and Dawkins coming off the bench, now get to have bigger roles which is no problem at all.
December 10, 201015 yr Not even worried. I hope he can get healthy to come back this year. If he can't I wonder if he will come back. I figure an impending NBA lockout will help make his mind up. I heard 3-4 weeks like GT did also.

December 10, 201015 yr Author I did not feel he would be out for the season, but I would be worried about lingering effects through the year.
