This morning on the Duke Basketball Report, a daily radio segment where Bob Harris interviews Coach Mike Krzyzewski, the topic was injuries and health. Obviously, Ryan Kelly is out indefinitely and Krzyzewski addressed the lack of a time frame put on Ryanâs recovery. You can listen to the full interview here.
With Ryan, itâs really an indefinite period of time and weâre not trying to be evasive or anything like that. We donât know. If we knew, we would put a time frame on it. When you donât know and you put a time frame on it, you create pressure that shouldnât be created.
This is perfectly reasonable, and I donât see any reason why there should be a definitive time set on Ryanâs return. Heâll return when heâs healthy.
Coach K went on to give more information regarding the rehab process.
Heâs on crutches not because [he] needs to be on crutches because [he's] so hurt, but to reduce stress in his foot. That helps the healing process. Heâs in a boot, not a cast, because he can then w

This discussion came on Krzyzewskiâs SiriusXM radio show, âBasketball and Beyond.â And it followed a news report on the show by Chris Spatola, who argued that Marylandâs decision to leave the ACC was made by newcomers to College Park, and lacked an appreciation for the tradition of the ACC. As you can see below, Dukeâs Mike Krzyzewski felt strongly about...
