Overview
- Scheyer told CBS Sports there is an outside chance Foster plays Friday against No. 5 St. John’s in Washington, D.C.
- Foster fractured his right foot on March 7 vs. North Carolina, had surgery March 8, and has missed the ACC tournament and Duke’s first two NCAA games.
- Scheyer said he won’t rule Foster out for the Elite Eight if Duke advances, describing the guard’s comeback push as ongoing.
- Freshman Cayden Boozer has started in Foster’s place, logging 37.5 minutes with 14.0 points and 5.0 assists per game in Duke’s two NCAA wins.
- Foster started 30 of 31 games and averages 8.5 points with 40.2% three‑point shooting, and his updated outlook follows earlier reports that pegged his return chances as very small.
