Ryan Kelly injury: Duke senior expected to be out 2-4 weeks

Playing for Duke is certainly never boring.

The Blue Devils’ basketball class of 2013 committed to Duke during a time of uncertainty and anxiety following “The Paulus Years,” a time when national Duke-hate reached a fever pitch without any of the results that made previous swells of vitriol tolerable for the Duke faithful. Concurrently, Roy Williams was the new sheriff in town at UNC, and had rattled off two national championships in the span of five years, and, believe it or not, the rumblings within Blue Devil national included wishful chatter about the retirement of hall-of-fame coach Mike Krzyzewski. Fans clamored for a desperately needed image change, and two lanky, white kids from North Carolina private schools and a Liberty transfer weren’t exactly going to cut it.
