Coach K on 3 injured freshmen: 'There is light at the end of the tunnel'

Duke fans at Cameron Indoor Stadium received a treat Wednesday evening, as five-star recruits Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum, and Marques Bolden all took part in pregame warmups, though none were available to play.

Giles and Bolden fully took part in the pregame activities, while Tatum sat out the layup line.

After the Blue Devils defeated William & Mary, head coach Mike Krzyzewski updated the status of his three injured freshmen.

"There is light at the end of the tunnel, we just don't know how long the tunnel is, but I think days like today help," Kryzewski said, according to C.L. Brown of ESPN.

The Hall of Fame coach said he wanted the players to warm up as a mental transition back to playing, once they're fully healthy.

All three players have yet to suit up this season. Giles had his knee scoped in October after having surgery while still in high school, while both Tatum and Bolden suffered lower-body injuries during the preseason.
