DURHAM, N.C. – Sophomore forward Olek Czyz has decided to leave Duke University, school officials announced Friday. Czyz leaves Duke in good academic standing and is expected to transfer to another Division I school.
Czyz started the first two games of the 2009-10 season and played in six of the team’s nine contests on the year. He averaged 2.5 points and 2.0 rebounds in 10.2 minutes per game while shooting .583 (7-of-12) from the field.
