Of course, Duke would like Flagg to recover quickly from his ankle ailment.
Meanwhile, Duke pulled away in the second half Saturday night to defeat Louisville 73-62 in the ACC Championship.
The Blue Devils are now 31-3 on the season and virtually guaranteed a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Without Flagg in the ACC semifinals and final, Duke had to rely on a number of players to come up.
Freshman standouts. Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach both shown why they could be top-ten NBA Draft picks.
Tyrese Proctor made six three-pointers in the ACC championship game, one shy of J.J. Redick’s Duke ACC tournament record.
Sion James, who played alongside Proctor in the backcourt, produced several plays that helped Duke win the conference championship.
But now, the Flagg watch is officially activated. If he can return and Duke’s other players continue to perform at this level, the Blue Devils will be a team no one wants to play.
