Just In:Jon Scheyer Rushed to the hospital in a critical health condition
Jon Scheyer, the head coach of Duke basketball, did not make the trip to Dallas for Saturday’s Blue Devils game versus SMU. Duke has announced that Scheyer will miss the game due to an illness.
Fortunately, he is anticipated to make a comeback to the sidelines when Duke plays Pitt at home on Tuesday. The Blue Devils’ complete statement, which was posted on Twitter on Saturday afternoon, is as follows:
The message states, “NEWS: Coach Scheyer will miss today’s game as he did not go with the club to Dallas due to illness.” Chris Carrawell, associate head coach, will take over as interim head coach. It is anticipated that Coach Scheyer will make a comeback for Tuesday’s match against Pitt.
The Duke vs. SMU game is being played on The CW. The tip-off time was 2:15 p.m. Before tip-off, The CW commentator Brian Oliver discussed Jon Scheyer’s absence and what it would impact for the game.
The absence of your head coach always has an effect, but here’s the thing: you are familiar with Jon Scheyer and his preparation. This is a defense-traveling Duke team, I will say that. For them, that is among the most important things,” Oliver stated. Since they have spent the entire week getting ready for this game, I believe that even though you change a few things, the plan remains the same.
