Duke vs Wake Forest basketball injury report, February 24

Mark Mitchell, Duke Blue Devils

Starting forward for the Duke Blue Devils, sophomore Mark Mitchell, suffered a sprained knee last month. However, it appears like he is at 100 percent, as it has not really affected his play on the court after a few games out.

He has been a vital player for the Blue Devils as he is averaging 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.7 steals in 29.3 minutes. He's been a good shooter with a 55.1/23.5/67.7 shooting split thus far.

Damari Monsanto, Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Senior guard Damari Monsanto has been dealing with a knee injury that kept him out for most of the regular season.

He suffered a torn patella tendon in his left knee last season with the NC State Wolfpack and got back on the court a month ago in-game action. Monsanto has been getting his footing with his new team as he has played in nine games with the Demon Deacons.

He is struggling with his shot as he is shooting 34.8% overall, but is 35.6% from 3-point land and has not missed a free-throw. Monsanto is playing 14.0 minutes per game and averaging 5.9 points, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.6 rebounds.
