Duke forward Marvin Bagley III will be available to play against Syracuse on Saturday after a knee sprain ruled him out for the past four games.
Bagley had missed the Blue Devils' contests against Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Louisville due to a mild right knee sprain in what was first described as a "precautionary" move. Despite his absence, Duke fared well without the 6-foot-11 freshman in the lineup, winning all four games without him.
In 24 games this season, Bagley is averaging 21.2 points on 59.6 percent shooting (35.4 percent from 3-point range) and 11.4 rebounds. He's also recording 1.7 assists, 1.1 blocks, and one steal per game.
