Duke basketball got some major news ahead of Friday’s Sweet 16 showdown against St. John’s.
Guard Caleb Foster is reportedly set to make his return for the Blue Devils after suffering a fractured right foot earlier this month, as was first reported by CBS Sports’ Traci Wolfson. He was initially dubbed a “game-time decision” by coach Jon Scheyer on Thursday.

Foster has started 30 of the 31 games he has appeared in this season, but he hasn’t played since the regular-season finale against North Carolina on March 7, including the entire ACC tournament and Duke‘s first two NCAA tournament wins.
It’s welcome news for the Blue Devils, who have been starting true freshman Cayden Boozer in his stead. Foster is averaging 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
With Foster back in the lineup, Duke will look to punch its ticket to the Elite Eight for the third straight year after reaching the Final Four last season.
