[Tizu]

Duke junior Ryan Kelly will be sideline for 6-8 weeks following surgery Tuesday to repair damage in his right foot.

Kelly, a Raleigh, N.C., native, suffered the injury in practice on Tuesday, March 6 and missed Duke’s ACC and NCAA Tournament games.

Kelly averaged 11.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game while playing in 31 contests (19 starts). He missed the final three games of the season due to the injury. Kelly scored in double-figures 18 times on the year with a career-high 23 points in a 79-71 win over Wake Forest on Feb. 28. He shot 40.8 percent (40-of-98) from three-point range and 80.7 percent (113-of-140).

I hope for his sake he can fully recover. A man his size, foot issues don't always go away (think Bill Walton). Best wishes to Ryan for a full recovery from this issue.

Hope he comes back full strength next season. I always like watching him because it's rare to see a guy his size that can knock down 3's as well as he can. Plus, he's a Raleigh boy, so even though he plays for the wrong team, he's alright, haha!

Best wishes to Ryan Kelly in his recovery.
