Another member of Duke's prized 2016 recruiting class appears to have suffered an injury, as Jayson Tatum left the school's pro day on Tuesday with a foot injury.

A Duke spokesperson confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Goodman that Tatum was being evaluated after needing help off the court, but that the severity of the injury is unknown at this time.

Tatum was the nation's third-ranked recruit in the 2016 class, and is now the second highly touted Blue Devil to go down with injury, after the No. 1 overall recruit Harry Giles underwent knee surgery few weeks ago.

Duke is the odds-on favorite to capture the NCAA championship this season, but without Giles and now Tatum, that may no longer be the case when they open the season Nov. 11th against Marist.
