Duke's Harry Giles: Not expected to face Spartans

Giles (knee) is expected to sit out Tuesday's game against Michigan State, CBSSports.com reports.

Analysis:

Giles has been in uniform and warmed up prior to each of the last two games, but the school remains quiet on his pending availability. You have to assume he's getting closer, but it also seems prudent to ease the freshman back into action against lesser competition rather than debuting against the Spartans. Assuming this isn't a ruse, Giles next chance to play will come Saturday against Maine.
