After the Duke Blue Devis 94-49 win over Marist, Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski said there was no timetable for the return of his injured players.

If you live under a rock you may not realize that three prized freshman in Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden have yet to play for Duke this season.  Giles is coming off serious knee injury, while Bolden and Tatum's are less severe.

''It wasn't an event.  Some times you wake up and there is something you haven't noticed.  it's a lower leg but it's too difficult to explain.  He's getting  better but we have to be careful not to get these guys coming back to soon,'' said Krzyzewski when questioned about Bolden's injury.

''Jayson is doing great.  I thought we put him in practice a little too soon and that hurt him, so we're just going to shut those guys down for a while.  We can't go through a whole year with lingering injuries,'' stated Krzyzewski.

He continued on his plans on the injury by saying, ''i'm going to be adamant about taking a longer time than a shorter time, no matter what.''

Duke takes on Grand Canyon tomorrow in Cameron just mere hours from now.  After that game, they will travel to New York City on Tuesday where they take on Kansas.
