Duke's Sean Obi: Recovering from knee procedure

Obi, who underwent knee surgery in June, is currently being held out of practice, the Fayetteville Observer reports.

Analysis:

Obi hardly made noticeable contributions in 2015-16, as coach Krzyzewski tended to keep a very tight rotation. One would think he'd be poised for an expanded role in the upcoming season, but an impressive recruiting class and the return of Amile Jefferson (foot) could prevent that from happening. First and foremost, Obi will need to get any potential knee problems in order. The Blue Devils open up at home against Marist on Nov. 11.
