Caleb Foster hurts ankle in the second half against Wake Forest, Scheyer says

Freshman guard Caleb Foster suffered a suspected ankle injury in the closing half against the Demon Deacons, head coach Jon Scheyer revealed after the game.

Kyle Filipowski wasn’t the only Blue Devil injured after halftime against Wake Forest on Saturday.

Freshman guard Caleb Foster, who has started the past several games for Duke, injured his ankle during the second half against the Demon Deacons, according to postgame comments from head coach Jon Scheyer.

Foster played 22 minutes against the Demon Deacons, scoring eight points on 3/5 shooting with three rebounds and an assist.

The 6-foot-5 North Carolina native is averaging 7.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game this season, and he’s shooting 43.7% from the floor and 40.6% from beyond the 3-point line.

He’s appeared in all 27 of Duke’s games this season, and Saturday was his 15th start of the season.

Foster’s best game of the season came against Pittsburgh shortly after the new year began when he scored 16 points on nine shots and added six rebounds and five assists.
