Duke
What is it with Duke University surgeons…are they getting paid by the player?
Josh Hairston becomes the fourth Blue Devil to go under the knife since the end of the 2012-13 season. He joins Ryan Kelly, Seth Curry and Marshall Plumlee.
Hairston had surgery to repair ligament damage in his right thumb. He hurt the finger back in February during practice. He’s expected to miss...
Does Roy Williams Stay with the Small Lineup?
On Wednesday night, Roy WIlliams shocked everyone by trotting out a new lineup to face Duke. It marked the first time since Desmond Hubert had locked down the five spot, Williams opted to change the lineup for tactical considerations. Hairston was inserted in the starting lineup at power forward giving UNC a smaller look they could use the spread the floor. It ended up being very...
Duke's Josh Hairston doubtful for NC State
As if Duke’s frontcourt wasn’t thin enough with Ryan Kelly out indefinitely, Josh Hairston has been declared doubtful for a huge game on Thursday against NC State that will go a long way in determining the ACC race and Duke’s potential seeding in the NCAA Tournament. In an injury I can’t recall ever seeing keeping a player out of action, Hairston has been diagnosed with an...

Duke Morning F.I.S.T. – February 6 Edition
Before yesterday, the biggest injury news ramping up to Duke’s battle with NC State on Thursday was whether or not Lorenzo Brown would be healthy enough to play. Then came the news that Josh Hairston is struggling with an arm infection after getting cut during the Wake Forest game. With Ryan Kelly already out, Duke’s frontcourt is perilously thin heading into a matchup against...
Duke, Hairston do little things well vs. Wake
WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- Duke escaped Joel Coliseum with a narrow victory Wednesday night, averting what would have been a damaging and somewhat embarrassing defeat.
Losing at Wake Forest isnt the shame it was the last couple of seasons. After all, Xavier, Virginia and North Carolina State have fallen here over the last month.
But fifth-ranked Duke is a different animal, even if the...

2013 Duke Basketball player spotlight — Josh Hairston
When Josh Hairston arrived on Duke’s campus in the summer of 2010, he was 6’7″ tall and weighed 210 pounds. Not ready physically to play the power forward position and not skilled enough offensively to usurp Kyle Singler at the small forward spot, Hairston played only 165 minutes the entire season. The highlight of his freshman season was by the St. Louis game, where Hairston...
Josh Hairston, the new Lance Thomas?
I heard several people tweet it over the course of the Duke-Virginia Tech game and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I kind of thought about the same thing. Josh Hairston can be this team's Lance Thomas.
If you are a new fan or one that doesn't have a very long memory, then all should know and remember Lance. The lanky 6-foot-8 forward who was a late commit to...
2011-12 Duke Blue Devils Player Spotlight: Josh Hairston
How can you not love Josh Hairston? He is the epitome of a great teammate. Entering Duke in his freshman season, Hairston had the job of backing up the likes of Kyle Singler, the brothers Plumlee and Ryan Kelly. When you find yourself in that sort of role, unless something catastrophic happens, you will more than likely be an emotional, vocal leader on the bench while playing sparingly...
