The No. 20 Duke Blue Devils have been struggling ever since big man Amile Jefferson went down with a foot injury. They went on a three game skid, but got a nice rebound win over N.C. State on Saturday. It looks like Duke might be getting some more good news soon as Jefferson is no longer in a boot.

And Coach K sounded like he was pretty happy about this development.
K says bootless Jefferson, goal to get him to walk correctly. "Still think it's a while. Still good to see him not in that damn boot."

Jefferson likely won't be back for a few weeks, but that might be the perfect time to sneak up on teams and help Duke go on a bit of a run in the postseason.
