Will Patrick Ngongba Play vs TCU in March Madness? Injury Update on Duke Basketball Starter
Patrick Ngongba II, averaging 10.7 points and 6 rebounds, may return after nearly three weeks out, potentially restoring Duke’s rotation for their NCAA second-round game.
- From Greenville, the update on Ngongba's status reports he could return for Duke's second-round game against TCU on Saturday, March 21, Scheyer said on March 20.
- With Ngongba sidelined, Duke has managed with a seven-man rotation, relying on Cayden Boozer and Maliq Brown to fill starting roles while Caleb Foster remains out with a fractured foot.
- Coach Jon Scheyer said he's hopeful and noted, "He needs to practice," highlighting Patrick Ngongba II's 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists averages.
- Restoring Ngongba would improve Duke's frontcourt balance, as Scheyer said, 'We want Pat to be out there as much as he can', and his return would help stabilize the rotation.
- Looking toward the Sweet 16, Duke emphasized, 'You have to go into this thing as the aggressors', after trailing by 11 against Siena.
