Caleb Foster injury update: Duke guard 'game time decision' vs St. John's Duke men's basketball coach Jon Scheyer confirmed on Thursday that point guard Caleb Foster remains a game-time decision for Friday’s Sweet 16 matchup against St. John’s in the NCAA Tournament. The Blue Devils are set to face the fifth-seeded Red Storm in a 7:10 p.m. ET tip-off at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Scheyer emphasized Foster’s determination to play, stating, “He’s in a position where he’s going to try to do that tomorrow night. He’s going to give it everything he has to go tomorrow night.” Foster has been sidelined since March 7 due to a foot injury sustained in Duke’s regular-season finale against North Carolina. The injury has kept him out of the ACC tournament and the first two games of the NCAA Tournament, during which the Blue Devils struggled offensively. In their first-round upset against No. 16 seed Siena, Duke committed eight turnovers and shot 41% from the field. The team’s turnover count rose to 17 in their second-round victory over No. 9 seed TCU, raising concerns about their ball-handling and flow without Foster. Scheyer provided further insight into Foster’s condition, noting that the guard had a “good day of practice” the day before the game. However, the coach stressed that the decision to play remains uncertain, as the team must assess Foster’s readiness. “It’s not like there’s a lot of practice time, but we have to make sure he’s in position before the game,” Scheyer said. The coach’s comments highlight the delicate balance between pushing Foster to contribute and ensuring his health. Foster’s injury has been a significant factor in Duke’s tournament performance.
