Duke basketball junior guard Tyrese Proctor, a third-year starter in as many seasons under head coach Jon Scheyer, stumbled backpedaled in transition as the No. 2-ranked Blue Devils (25-3, 16-1 ACC) were adding to their demolition late in the first half of Tuesday’s game against Miami (6-22, 2-15 ACC).
He was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game due to a left knee injury, although he finished with seven points, two rebounds, two assists, and two steals, becoming the 70th Duke basketball player to achieve 1,000 career points (he currently has 1,004).
Following the Blue Devils’ most recent outstanding performance, Scheyer stated in a press conference that he and his team will have Proctor undergo imaging and “go from there.”
Proctor was on crutches as he boarded the bus to depart the arena with his teammates.
With the 97-60 victory over the Hurricanes, Duke basketball’s winning streak reached five games. However, the Blue Devils are already without junior reserve forward Maliq Brown, who dislocated his left shoulder in last week’s win against Virginia, for at least a few games.
Meanwhile, Proctor has not missed a game for the 2024-25 Blue Devils. Furthermore, the former five-star prep from Australia has been on a tear of late, entering Tuesday night with career-high season averages of 12.0 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting a career-best 40.9 percent from outside the arc.
The high-powered Blue Devils will play at home against the Florida State Seminoles (16-12, 7-10 ACC) on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET (ACC Network).
