You are undoubtedly aware of the tremendous anticipation surrounding Duke’s season. However, as you are well aware, not just from your experience in basketball but also from your life, things don’t always go as planned.
Unfortunately, but perhaps fortunately, Patrick Ngongba, a freshman at Duke, is injured in his foot and will be out for some time.

Ngongba is out and about indefinitely, as far as we can determine from X, and wearing a walking boot. It appears that they are attempting to resolve his circumstances from the previous year; in other words, it might not be a new injury but rather a more drawn-out recuperation than anticipated.
In terms of the team, it is controllable. Cooper Flagg and Malik Brown can fill in for Khaman Maluach at the post.
Still, for Ngongba personally, it’s a drag. It puts him behind in the beginning of his profession. Still, you can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles hardship. Hopefully, he views it as a chance to see and learn from his coaches, as well as to improve.
