Amile Jefferson could be back on the court soon

Duke needed this news.

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.

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.
